Had a great morning with Report on two sites to see the Lesser Whitethroat at Seaton and hoping to see my first Purple Sandpiper that i hadn't seen for several years at Sidmouth, Both locations are in East Devon UK. Both were seen which was very satisfying. Doesn't always happen that way!!

I missed the big Aurora event on Monday night 19th Jan and reports said there could another display on 20th so I gave it a go and there was definitely colour over Exeter UK. Further north they had great displays but it’s a rare event further south. More to come 🤞 … #Aurora

During the winter Kingfishers on the Exe Estuary are an added bonus to the 20-30k migratory birds that over winter with us in Devon. When the sun shines it highlights it’s beautiful plumage 👍

Great twitch on my home patch the Exe Estuary mega bird turned up yesterday and still here today Lesser Crested Tern attracted loads of birders from across the country. Great attraction for the Exe Estuary
