A young Avocet feeding on Black Hole Marsh,
One of the three that are thought to be the first born in Devon and approximately eight weeks old.

I squeezed in a little this morning with a visit to Black Hole Marsh ( , ). A Little Stint had turned up there on its way south. This diminutive wader was a delight to watch through the 'scope as it scurried about feeding. The young Avocet were still about (remember - the first to be born in Devon?) as well as Greenshank, Redshank and Common Sandpiper. All in all a nice trip.

Maybe, but I see some issues: you'd end up with some hashtags that were ambiguous in whether they were location-based or not (the village of is next to the village of for example, I kid you not...)

And you'd also have the issue of differing scales - do I subscribe to , or , or ? The dream goal for me is a system where I could paint onto a map the area within which I'd like to subscribe (with ability to control the brush size!)

For example, I'm visiting for the next couple of days and wanted to ask locals what kind of trees are planted around the "Sea Front Gardens" Green inaturalist.org/observations/1

I visited Black Hole Marsh, early this morning to check out the first breeding . It was peaceful and quiet and the Avocet were all present and correct - two adult, three young. Lovely to see this elegant wader. And they also lived up to their feisty reputation as parents - seeing off any birds that came too close

Bit of a misty early morning walk along beach. Pretty mild which is welcome.

A lucky day out & about. I stopped on a woodland track & a Firecrest went around & around me. A rarer but less elusive bird returned (Isabelline Wheatear) not far from where I'd gone so I nipped along to see it. And then, a Scaup, a pair of Goldeneye and a Sandwich Tern were all reported on the River Exe virtually on my way home. All of this lovliness in the sunshine.
