Red Kites


Four Red Kites seen from the garden today. All moving very slowly in the heat. A single bird was seen yesterday. Otherwise time spent mooching around the pebbled heaths produced at least 2 Cuckoos and at least 2 Crossbills. Time spent on the evening of the 23rd watching at least 1 Hobby and a couple Nightjars on Exmouth heathland.




Heath Spotted Orchids are out in force on the pebbled heaths.



Masses of Early Marsh Orchids are out at the moment. I found loads in areas I've not seen them before.

Roe Deer - Woodbury Common.


Lu, Maisie and I went for a walk along the Otter this evening. This Beaver put in a brief appearance.


Spoonbill.


One of at least two Cuckoos at the bottom of Woodbury Common this morning.
