What a boat trip yesterday from #Brixham, #Devon. Skipper Dave on 'Kelly's Hero' did us proud; the wildlife was phenomenal - Great, Manx, Sooty and Balearic #Shearwater; Great, Arctic and Pomarine #Skua; Storm Petrel; Short-beaked Common #Dolphin; Harbour Porpoise; Grey Seal amongst all the 'usual' Gull species.

If sheep are among the choices, the answer will always be: Sheep! π
Exciting day bird-wise. An Ortolan Bunting was reported at East Devon Golf Club so three of us headed there. After 90 minutes of studying a hedge, it was spotted! Brief but good views. A new species for me so happy times! Thanks to Mark who spotted it and let us view through his βscope (pretty difficult to describe location (βItβs in the hedge!!!!β)).

This roadside diner on the A380 is obviously a total affectation but my god itβs so much better than the sterile metal boxes that usually get put up in these kinds of spots. #Devon
I had some chores to do today but as I was passing Aylesbeare Common I thought I'd have a quick walk.
As I was snapping a Grayling butterfly I saw a movement behind it - a Common Lizard! Plenty of #Grayling about as well as Gatekeeper.

Its been a little rainy here today and I thought that I would grab a little time on a local Common thinking that the birds might be more active when it stopped. I was right! Not only did I come across a Spotted #Flycatcher (which would have made it a special visit) but a #Grasshopper Warbler too. Which made it very special!!

Three hours spent in Riverside Valley Park, #Exeter, #Devon in the hope of seeing a visiting Night Heron - which I didn't; and other water birds - which I did. Particularly pleased to watch a male Kingfisher fishing and a Little Grebe appearing out of the vegetation. Three hours well spent, I think!

Another visit to Bowling Green Marsh, #Exeter, #Devon over high tide and the mud was full of #Redshank, #Dunlin, #Godwit (mostly Black-tailed but a couple of Bar-tailed for good measure), #Curlew, #Whimbrel #Ruff, #Knot and three Kingfisher. The evening sun made for good light along with a pleasant group of people in the hide.

π· #Kingfisher (a male I think as I couldn't see any red on the bill).

I managed a visit to Bowling Green Marsh to just sit and gawp and be peaceful. Many waders present and it was pleasant just to sit and watch them.
