Undertook a Nightjar Survey for the RSPB last night at a place I didn’t know (even though it’s closer than some sites I often visit).

I saw a fabulous sunset..... a superb view of a meteor breaking up..... a male and female Nightjar flying around my head constantly as the light disappeared... and then a 93% Waxing Gibbous moon.

Sometimes you’re lucky!

I visited a Pebblebed Heath this morning and I've decided it is Birds-On-A-Stick Day. Stonechat, Dartford Warbler, Greenfinch, Linnet, Tree Pipit all agreed with me 😂

A slow stroll around one of the Pebblebed Heaths this morning and quality birding. Dartford Warbler, Yellowhammer, a pair of Bullfinch were the highlights along with Slow Worm and Adder. I'm sure you'll forgive the wobbliness of the slitheries photos 😂

A walk around Aylesbeare Common this morning. It was definitely a more butterfly than a bird day. Red Admiral, White Admiral, Green Hairstreak, Grayling, Gatekeeper, Ringlet, Holly Blue, Speckled Wood, Holly Blue, Silver-washed Fritillary & Brimstone as well as an Emerald Damselfly. A nice bunch of people from the Local Group of the RSPB too.

Up on the East #Devon Commons last night. I love that moment when you hear the first ‘churrr’ of a Nightjar of the evening. Even better when two of them fly past you in the dimpsy light. I’ve not heard any wing-clapping this year though.
