Dartmoor

A trip around Dartmoor today with Brian Heasman with our first stop at the Yarner Woods where we had 2 WOOD WARBLER , 1 PIED FLYCATCHER & a BULLFINCH , we then carried on to the lovely area of the Challacombe Farm ! & we saw 2 SPOTTED FLYCATCHER , a male REDSTART that was very vocal but hard to see but we got it in the end , & a couple of Beautiful Demoiselle that were showing by the stream , & on the road that takes you from the farm out on to the moor there was 2 WHEATEAR & a WHINCHAT .
On then to the Sousens area where there was 2 more WHINCHAT , 3 CUCKOO , a TREE PIPIT & quite a few Small Heath Butterflies .
