I have counted 18 hares this morning six in one field chasing each other about and bucking that i watched for a wile through the binoculars. Send post code , only joking , it’s grand seeing hares on door step , see buzzards regularly over my pen , and we it being a couple mins walk from home I’ve seen them gliding over estate where I live , most I’ve seen was 5 , see a pair of barn owls often off pen also , sparrow hawk pays odd visit for a pigeon , did see it take one out one day it was a sight to behold Edited April 27 by BobDown 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 24,732 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Up on Dartmoor again hoping to hear the Cuckoo and see the fields of Blue Bells at Emsworthy Mire. Well Seen and heard the Cuckoo one landed for about two seconds above our head. Blue Bell looks like couple weeks time. Loads of twitchers after photos of the Red Starts and Cuckoos. If anybody is down in a week or two Emsworthy and Halwell lawn will be a mass of Blue Bell. Acres of them. Think this is a Willow Warbler Not very good photo I'm afraid of a Red Start. Few little Thumpers. Couple os ponies in the distance on to of Sadle Tor. Cheers Arry 14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 10,947 Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 A walk at first light on the local golf course that i haven't been on for a good while. Disappointed to not see any rabbits as the gorse bankings always held plenty of rabbits. Found a wren's nest though no eggs in it and had half an hour practice with the catapult in the local woods. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Arry 24,732 Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 (edited) Down at Beesands again today for Fish and Chip and a walk. Went to the hide at the lake behind the beach Picked up a couple of bird I didn't know on Merlin. First was a "Citte's Warbler" second was a diving bird that was out in front of us called a "Common Loon". Looking out the Hide. Bird you can expect to see at Beesands. Beautyfull day hardly a soul on the beach. Path to the hide. This was a football field with the old clubhouse in the background. No locals left to play now all sold up.
