Dartmouth

Holiday in Cornwall but stopped off in Dartmouth on the way.

Went to Yarner wood and saw Pied Flycatchers and Wood Warblers. Nearby we saw Tree Pipits, Peregrines, Ravens, and Stonechats. I also spotted these funny clouds...

Black Grouse


I went to Langdon Beck to watch Black Grouse leking (their display.) We saw them early morning in the fog but it cleared and we had a better view. Also breeding in the uplands were Meadow Pipit, Curlew, Snipe, Lapwing and Redshank.
