Barbara
has a whole wall of her dining room devoted to world travel. Coloured
flags denote where she has been and white flags are stuck on where
her bed & breakfast clients live. She is obviously adventurous as
the photographs of her with friends atop various European mountains
show. What a great bed & breakfast, Heather Croft Taunton; she
deserves a plug.
The
day is spent heading south which
is mostly along the A38 until I make a mistake and lose it. The next
five miles are spent negotiating a country lane with very
questionable tarmac. Finding the A38 replacement I reach Exeter and
get to the excellent RSPB reserve, Bowling Green at Topsham. Into the
hide, the nearest flock of wigeon has my target bird, an male
American wigeon.
There is also a lone oystercatcher,
another new year tick surprisingly late addition.
The
Green Year list now stands at 106.
