I was lucky enough to see an Osprey on 30 March, rising up out of the West Dart valley near Brownberry, and circling slowly north on the thermals towards Laughter Tor.
Then a trip to South East Cornwall over Easter produced Red Kite, Eider (waddling around amongst the tourists on a busy Looe beach!) and a fine adult male Peregrine.
Now the weather has turned sharper and more blustery, with some pretty fierce hail showers yesterday, but the summer migrants are starting to make it up onto Dartmoor in bigger numbers now, with plenty of Blackcaps and a few Willow Warblers, and a lone Swallow over Holne Moor today.
