So many of these little birds on my walk today on #dartmoor.
Merlin and Google Lens tell me they are an adult and juvenile Wheatear. They were certainly brave, shouting at me from only a few feet away.
Welcome dear May, pictures taken in previous years, bluebells near Burrator, oaks near Burrator, hawthorn near Whitchurch down, and oak at Grenofen, #Dartmoor. #Devon#mosstodon
‘In lovely harmony the wood has put on its green mantle, and summer is on its throne, playing its string-music; the willow, whose harp hung silent when it was withered in winter, now gives forth its melody - Hush! Listen! The world is alive.
Welsh; Thomas Telynog Evans; 1840-65.’
Next up in the four species which were firsts for the year: Redstart - what a cracking species. They kept me waiting 45 minutes but it was worth every windswept, frozen moment!!!
