Sorry to have to start another new thread but it appears that because there haven't been any posts for over 12 month then I cant continue posting on the established treads. I know there are Devon birders out there, just surprised it has come to this.
A rare full day off today, so did a little birding. Started at Soussons wood, looking successfully for crossbill. Found a pair at the top of the main path from the car park, at the log pile clearing. Very vocal and conspicuous.
Onto Brixham to look for the Glaucous gull. It was exactly where its been reported, on top of the fish market roof at 12:30. When I return after a pub lunch at 13:30 it had moved on, for once I dropped lucky. Also of note, at least 2 blackcap feeding in the huge ivy wall at the harbour wall calling frequently and even bursting into song at on point.
