Even when I spend almost two hours walking around Beer Head in late April and see nothing better than four Wheatear, three Whitethroat and a Willow Warbler, I simply cannot justify a moan...

Absolutely stunning views, this is looking west |
Looking east, as usual Portland was viewable, but looking west you could see all the way down to Start Point which is a whopping 40 miles away! Well, you could just about see it...

If you squint you can make out the white lighthouse at Start Point, just to the right of that boat |

I'm pretty sure this is Brixham with Berry Head to the left |

Ladram Bay |
We really do live in a beautiful part of the world!
And although the migrant birds I saw weren't exactly special, if you think about the journey they have just undertaken then really they are ALL special. Three of the Wheatears I actually saw arrive, and I can't put it into words how amazing it is to see them make landfall into the UK for the first time this spring. Simply amazing...
