Monthly walk at Whiddon Deer Park

Watching a family of Spotted Flycatchers by the River Teign.
A good turnout on a blazing Sunday morning to explore Dogmarsh Bridge, the River Teign and Whiddon Deer Park, just north of Chagford.  A great day for plants and insects, with a few birds braving the heat, including Spotted Flycatcher, Green Woodpecker, Redstart, Treecreeper and Tree Pipit.  Thank you to everyone who came along - hope to see you at the next one!

It's a great summer for Foxgloves...
