Yellow Pimpernel
An early morning visit to Liverton industrial estate, following up on a reported Back Redstart, resulted in a fly-over Crossbill - my first within the Exmouth boundary this year. There's no shortage of Crossbills up on the commons which is where I spent an hour or so after work this evening, mostly staring at the ground, looking for flowers. I think it's fair to say that yellow flowers are causing most confusion at the moment. Hope I've got these right.

ReplyDeleteThank you Dave - annoyed with myself as that's one you pointed out to me a few days ago! What's more I noted it at Bystock yesterday but thought this one was different. So much to learn. Thanks again. Matt
ReplyDeleteFlowers are so difficult (especially the yellow ones 😁
