Dartmoor

The beginning of a week’s holiday with the children in Pentewan, Cornwall. We stopped off overnight at Oakhampton and spent the morning in Dartmoor. We first went to Yarner Wood where we saw six Pied Flycatchers and a single Wood  Warbler (though several more were heard.)

We then went for a short drive through the moor, seeing Common Buzzards (many seen all week), several Stonechats, three Tree Pipits, two Peregrines, and four Ravens.

A rather unusual cloud formation was also seen:

We eventually ended up at Haytor Rock which we climbed before having lunch at Widecombe-in-the-moor (where Tom saw a Spotted Flycatcher.)
