    Strikingslug, there have some good numbers of Goosander roosting on the Avon Dam, had 29 a week or so ago. They must be somewhere in the daytime? Good if they are on the Erme though

    Saw the first Wheatear on the Southern slopes of Dartmoor today and the skylarks are really singing well, plenty about this week. It was a glorious day.

    Perhaps these people who report sightings to this website have an interest in the wildlife in Devon and do not know of the protocol of reporting species to the county recorder or the risks associated with reporting their sightings. Maybe if ther was a link/message placed on this site for...

    I think Pied Wagtails like Sainsbury's - there were in excess of 15 in the carpark at Marsh Mills when they were closing on a Sunday afternoon just before Christmas? What I wanted to ask was, what is the liklihood of Waxwings in South Devon?

    Common Crane still near Modbury this morning, lower side of the road along the 'Edmonston straight'. Not that I have seen it yet, but husband has and was impressed.

    At last - something to tell you all, we have a Snow Bunting again on Ugborough Moor, a little earlier than last year and a little shy, will try and see it again in the morning. Also had 50 Golden Plover flying, 1 Meadow Pipit and a snipe.

    Just wondering why there are a lot more mistle thrushes locally? Only in the past couple of weeks if that have these birds appeared, see them a lot in the winter but I have to say they have never been so obvious as they are now? I am on the Southern slopes of Dartmoor.

    Very sadly I was delighted by the little things in life today, I can see spring is just around the corner. I had a greenfinch in the garden, the first for many months, I have come to the conclusion they go somewhere else for their 'winter break'. That and a goldfinch really made my day. Also...

    Hope you don't mind thought I would add a small bit. My patch would be moorland above Ivybridge, have too many children to get out as much as I like but today I was able to go up and have a little look around, lovely day, saw a couple of ravens, a stonechat and about 30 golden plovers. I am...
