So jealous of this trip! Was just with @ianhayes.bsky.social today at ham wall / shapwick and it sounded great

Tess Ashton @devontess.bsky.social · Jun 1

Awesome day with @ianhayes.bsky.social being our guide today at ham wall/shapwick! lifers for me with hobby, whitethroat and the star of the show a bittern (which unfortunately for the others, only I saw briefly fly over the reeds!) windy conditions not ideal for birding, but a fabulous day!!! 💗

Enjoyable morning at Ham Wall/Shapwick with @devontess.bsky.social and Melissa. Plenty of Hobbies including a fine male perched up on Meare Heath. Common Tern briefly over Noah's . Bittern put in a brief appearance late on, a fine lifer for the one of us who picked it up!

Sooo typical I was in Cornwall ! Gutted missed the turtle dove! Apparently there’s been a fair few reports of them on the Isles of Scilly too, wonder if it’s related ?!

Wow!!!

Tess Ashton @devontess.bsky.social · May 6

Stunning walk with @clennonvalley.bsky.social today on the moors. Cuckoo, redpoll, whinchat, wheatear, garden warbler, redstart being the stars of the show. A lack of birds of prey, 3 buzzard and a kestrel.
Racked up the steps, so a glass of vino blanco is utterly deserved. #bird #birds #dartmoor

We then moved to stover after lunch at Parke- checked in with the beautiful mandarin ducks (little sis was very impressed by these) we also had 4 stock dove under the treetop walkway, and a couple of treecreeper.

Took my little sis out for a birding day today. We went first to yarner woods. Didn’t get the LSW, but plenty of pied flycatcher, willow warbler, goldcrest and the obligatory stonechat
