Devon and Travels!
Hello,
Today we have spent most of our time traveling to Devon but at the station called Delemere. There was a singing male Redstart (a first for me), a Colony of Rooks, a Raven and singing Chiffchaffs. At the second station called Sedgemoor we only had time for 10mins but was a Jam-Packed 10mins! There was lots of Singing male and Responding Female Greenfinches, a couple of sing Common Whitethroats, a Chiffchaff, a Blackcap, a Buzzard and Good numbers of Rooks!
When we finally got to Devon we visited a beach called Broadsands, the only things there was 5-6 Herring Gulls, 2 Mute Swans, a Garden Warbler and a Greater Backed Black Gull. My second vist on Devon was to Paignton Beach there was 2Yellow Legged Gull, 60+ Herring Gull, few Cormerant and Shag and a fair amount of Lesser and Greater Blacked Back Gull.
