[QUOTE="Matt Prince, post: 1808732, member: 52862"] Saturday 25th April 2010 We started early-ish with a visit to Headland Warren and Challacombe farm, weather was patch with odd rain showers, but we were still fortunate enough to see a few good birds, i.e. winchat, cuckoo and redstart, plus a couple of aquatic flowers in the raised bog nearby. A reeling grasshopper warbler had me questioning weather I should except heards.. Its a matter of personal opinion, and this list is about what I've seen... so no tempting as it was it didn't make the list and promptly shut-up as the rain closed in. A quick hop to Longdown for the funghi workshop, with lots of microscopes laid out and some interesting insights into funghi identification via microscopy. (Some of yesterdays finds were identified here). Outside around the building were several mini-beasts including a passing butterfly, a small colony of solitary bees and one of their associated cuckoo bees melecta albifrons which is a stunning black and white job. After that it was a toss up about whether to head for South Huish or Dawlish Warren and we opted for South Huish, arriving just in time to see a flava yellow wagtail disappearing into the depths of the salt marsh (plus some white wagtails, but I can't "count" them). Tired we headed for home, only to get news of the KP again, so I sprinted down the warren, but no sign, ending the birding weekend as I started, dipping Kentish Plover on the warren... Sites: Headland Warren, Challacombe, Longdown, South Huish, Dawlish Warren New Species : Winchat, Cuckoo, Redstart, Reed Warbler, Yellow Wagtail, Green-veined White, anthophora plumipes/retusa (solitary bee), melecta albifrons (cuckoo bee), pyrasusta aurata (micro), tipula sp (cranefly), orius niger (lacebug), 3-lobed crowfoot, Common Lousewort, Common Scurvy-Grass, Common Scurvy-Grass Errata - Dasypoda altercator (bee) removed from list stringy id ! Totals: Birds 164; Butters 8; Moths 5; Misc 27 ;Flora 133; GT 456 Nicolas grips RL Partridge [/QUOTE]
