Really nice Spoonbill pic, Brian. Glad you had a good time.......
I'd be very pleased to see one of those nasty little genetic contaminants on the Borrow Pit at Seaton Marshes!!Andrew said:Slapton had nine of those ducks, you know, the ones we must not mention to the authorities!
Andrew said:Apart from the Long-tailed Duck, there was also a Peregrine in pursuit of a Black-tailed Godwit. Looked to have sent it crashing and could not pick it out of a ditchful of water. Only a Goldcrest in the hedge but Perry later reported the Firecrest was still there.
A female Marsh Harrier lifted out of the bushes at Slapton Ley (Higher Ley) and drifted off high over the hills presumably towards the bay by France Wood. The log chalkboard in the stone building had two Marsh Harriers written on it.
Strete Gate was pleasantly sheltered but surprisingly completely devoid of birds.
As expected, Start Point was a waste of effort as the wind was strong and a thick mist descended.
Good to meet you Mark. You sure made your little boys walk fast!
The Firecrest said:Massive fall of thrushes at Start Point. 2000 Song Thrushes and 1800 Redwings.
Ppedro, was that you?
Andrew said:Good directions Mark. Better than mine.
Bowling Green Marsh, Budleigh Salterton and this one come to mind. Where was the fourth one?
Where it truly mattered!!Andrew said:Where was the fourth one?
