Dawn walk from Dartmeet

A dawn walk at Dartmeet with Shelagh Weeden and her Chagford friends - a regular and most enjoyable assignment for the best part of ten years now.  We've never been blessed with good weather, and this year had to postpone the regular May walk until mid June, but we encountered a break in the wind and rain and had a very successful morning, with 40 bird species and some wonderful early morning views.

A Kingfisher gave us a fly-past here, together with Grey Wagtail, Pied Flycatcher, Cuckoo, Wood Warbler, Tree Pipit and Goosander near this spot.




Not a bad spot for a tea break.
