Evening walk with Sally and Alan

 
A dusk walk from Prince Hall with Sally and Alan, visitors from Exeter.  A beautiful evening, with trout rising in the West Dart, Mayflies on the wing, and a number of birds including Spotted Flycatcher, Treecreeper and Grey Heron.  We looked for Otters as darkness fell, but were not quite lucky enough.  As you can see, it was a real treat being out by the river on this summer evening.  I took my bat detector along; Pipistrelle bats were extremely active by the bridge after dark (as were the midges).

The dot on the far right of the sky section is a Cormorant!
