217! Had to be done. Gorgeous dove. Brixham delivered. Fair way away though..... The Devon list goes on.

Evening adventures.... and an Ortolan bunting! So many brambles, and I had to buy happy meals, worth it! Lifer. 216 for Devon.... Rubbish phone edits, it was tiny and long way away.

Father inlaw after I just fitted new tyres to his vintage Raleigh for his allotment runs!

Now that was a late twitch, and about as far as I like to go! Seaton Wetlands after a disastrous T20 match in Community League for my Sir Walt pub team. 215 for Devon, red-necked phalarope. Bosh. Cheers @ColytonWildlife for the pointer!

So Devon lifers are back up and running, self found little gulls off Exmouth seafront today. Two adult birds, this one snuck in close and I missed a good shot! Grrr. Serious conditions out there. Epic seeing some other regular species in the rough stuff! #birding #stormingrid

Best logo on a peach of a shirt!

Had a birdwatching buddy today as I dipped the bittern at my local reserve. Devon list stays unmoved in 2026! @markrabailey Bonus doggo cuddles

Our ground doesn't do too badly on that front! #budleighsalterton – at Sandy Bay, England

Nice redshank. Tried for similar yesterday – at Sandy Bay, England

First bird pic of the year! The ever cute stonechat. Lovely winter colours on the coast today. Should I do a year list, not sure I can be arsed, a few more Devon ticks and lifers be good though. #devonphotographer #jurrasiccoast #stonechat #birding @OMSYSTEMcameras – at Sandy Bay, England
