Interesting morning birding. I went up to Dartmoor to see what was about. First bird was this lovely Cuckoo, calling and then I zeroed in on it.
I had a walk around Challacombe Farm and bumped into some Dorset birders who were doing Devon. They were part of a small tour company called Two Owls Birding follow the link for more info.
I walked around, as I said and heard a Winchat( sorry about the photo but no matter what I do it won't go the right way) then it popped out and gave some great views. Swallows and H Martins buzzed around, feeding. More Cuckoos and lots of Willow Warblers. But no Groppers.
Really liked it up there I must go more often.
At Stover with the family this afternoon saw Small Red Damselfly and some kind of Hawker.
