My last Devon post :-

.
You cannot go to Devon without seeing Branscombe (a pretty little village with lots of flowers and birds!), after which we went to Beer; then Seaton (where we should have gone with friends a few weeks ago, but I was working, and hopefully we will do that soon). Seaton was great. The hide is perfect for an all round view and great for seeing Kingfishers. We then went to Powderham, Cockwood and then finished the evening at Dawlish Warren. It was a beautiful evening and having chased a Kingfisher around the pool, and then a Wheatear around the beach we decided we were too tired to go looking for waders (although it would have been a perfect time as the tide was low and the light was fabulous). Instead, we sat on the beach and watched the sun set. These are the last of my pics (I think!)...

Carrion Crow - Dawlish Warren...

Stonechat (It was acting very strange - I thought it may be a Whitchat at first)...

.
Llamas (I think). We passed a gateway and I spotted them and summoned the Abbot to turn the car around and go back :-)

Dragon Fly at Seaton...

I think this may be the result of a hatched Moth or Butterfly. Spotted at Dawlish Warren. I do find some strange things - I was intrigued by it :-)


Today and Devon

.
We've been to Walmsley today (with a quick look at Par on the way home). Met up with DJ and Tara and had a very relaxing day. Walmsley is such a tranquil place. My head count was 53 with the morning garden head count added on. Even when I think I'm taking it easy with the camera I still seem to take too many and I've not sorted out all my images from Devon yet, so today will have to keep for a little longer.
