On Saturday & Monday we headed up to the Blackdown Hills for round 3 of our Devon Bird Atlas surveys.
On both days it was really quiet, with one tetrad only producing 10 species, although it was quite nice that the 10th was a Nuthatch, found in the last few seconds of the hour. We did have a couple of very large House Martin flocks, particularly over fields of grass that had just been cu, & 3 Buzzards on adjoining telegraph poles.
