South Devon Wildlife

Post by SW Sky Blue » Thu Jun 26, 2025 11:04 am

Catching up with some wildlife pics from my local area. The Woodchat Shrike at Dawlish Warren last week caused much excitement amongst the local twitchers. All the other pics are just day today bits I see regularly in South Devon whilst out walking.
Details in the Flickr tag if needed, hope they are of interest.

Very, very impressive.
Many years since I've seen a Yellowhammer - used to be prolific around here
Sadly not any more.

A lovely set of images. The Egret dropping the eel is beautifully caught. Thanks for posting.
