Being out and about the last few weeks or so has yielded a few good birds away from my home patch. I've travelled no further than Dartmoor, some Devon Commons and Dorset but as usual there is always plenty to see. Probably the best sighting was this lesser spotted woodpecker that I never thought I'd ever see so close. I won't bore you with all the photos I was able to get but it was a lot!</div>

Back on Colyford Common this afternoon Ian M. found a whinchat amongst a large fall of wheatears. After a bit of waiting around the whinchat finally came a bit closer before quickly crossing the walkway and moving on with the wheatears. </div>

As I'm usually very lucky with ospreys I can't really complain about missing the 2 that have passed through here in the last few days. I was close today as it just disappeared over the hills being chased by a buzzard as I got back to the tower hide having left a little while before. I hung around for a while hoping for its return which it didn't but was rewarded instead with some great views of a cattle egret landing and flying around the estuary.</div>

Last night just as I was cooking dinner a text from Tim White, who had 2 spoonbills on Black Hole Marsh, had me heading back there just before dark. As you can see they were quite distant for my camera and the sun had gone but still nice to see. I made a quick trip over again this morning hoping to see them in better light when Ian M said they were still there, but unfortunately they had just flown when I arrived.</div>

The long staying grey plover is still present as are the 4 drake pintails. Yesterday afternoon the knot and one lone ringed plover was viewable from the tower hide on the river. Black Hole Marsh has plenty of squabbling shelducks plus a good number of black tailed godwits and although this one is not one of the most colourful ones it is still beautiful.</div>

Great day yesterday whale watching at Slapton and a visit to Thurlestone for the desert wheatear. I have never actually seen any kind of whale before so to see a humpback close into the shore was really exciting. We watched the whale for several hours as it swam back and forth across the bay following shoals of fish. It really was a wonderful sight. Shame some idiots had to keep speeding after it in a boat every time it surfaced. I believe today police have said anyone seen going anywhere near it in a boat will be prosecuted and the area is now being patrolled by fisheries vesssels. Such a shame its necessary. Anyway there were many people watching and enjoying it from the car park and along the shore when we arrived. Everybody was so excited to be seeing it and there was a great friendly atmosphere.</div>

Before Slapton we had made a quick visit to Thurlestone to see the long staying desert wheatear which I hadn't yet seen and is beginning to look rather smart. As we got towards the beach it flew straight across in front of us so there was no problem locating it. It was quite mobile but came quite close and was constantly singing. Sad to think it won't find a mate there.</div>

Thought it time I put together a post as it has been quite a while since the last. I'll start with my Christmas morning trip up the lanes behind Axmouth before a wonderful Christmas dinner and entertainment provided by some very good friends. The weather was dull and drizzly but it was still great to see between 15 and 20 yellow hammers bathing in puddles along the hedgerows and quite a few red legged partridges.</div>

and moving on to some more common varieties there were 32 dunlin flying up and down the river today and quite a few black tailed godwits again in the fields the last few days. The fields around Colton have plenty of redwings and fieldfares though the cattle egret has so far managed to elude me. By Seaton sewage works there were several goldcrests today with the finches and tit flock while the kingfisher provided a different background to the usual.</div>

Last thursday Ian M had a spoonbill on BHM. Having not seen one for a while I thought it worth braving the rain to have a look. It spent all the time I was there in the far corner so pictures are pretty dire through heavy rain. Unbelievably it actually stayed awake and was feeding continuously so it was actually worth getting wet through to watch it. It had gone the next morning which was a shame.</div>

Having never actually seen a turtle dove in the wild I was delighted to see this one and so close to home too. Presumably the same one as was originally found by Tim Wright. Its so sad to think I may never see another of these beautiful birds with so few left but who knows what the future may hold. Lets just hope things can change for them.</div>

And here is another first. Ring ouzels have always eluded me so when Ian M found 3/4 up Beer Head I had to try yet again. Luck was with me this time and after 15 minutes or so a stunning male came up through the vegetation below and sat out in the open. Unfortunately not being too good at heights, (a bit of an understatement), it took me a while to let go of the post I was clinging on to so I could use my camera, by which time it had flown a lot further toward the sea. It might be a poor picture but I was delighted to have seen it.</div>

Early this morning I had a phone call from Ian W. to tell me of the juvenile Red-Backed Shrike found up on Beer Head earlier by Kevin Hale and there I was heading for Exeter! Still thats the way it goes sometimes. I'm sure we all know that feeling. However after a late lunch and armed with the knowledge that the shrike was still showing well and its whereabouts I finally headed up to Beer Head about 2pm. On arrival Tim Wright had the shrike in his scope though a scope was not really necessary as it was so close. So when Tim said it was right in front of me I didn't realise at first he meant it literally and so close. Tim and I spent some time watching this showy and confiding bird which was still there when I left. Needless to say I took a few photos. What a great little bird to see and on our own patch.</div>

While up on Beer Head the numbers of swallows passing through must have been in their thousands though I'm afraid I am no good at estimating the numbers and there were also plenty of yellow wagtails amongst the sheep. <br />
Meanwhile Black Hole Marsh has continued to give us a few different birds to the usual. 10 days ago Ian M. had 13 Bar Tailed Godwits drop in in front of the tower hide on the river several of which still remain today at the back of Black Hole Marsh today. Distant pictures I'm afraid.</div>

I'm so lucky to live across the road from such a wonderful area of wetlands although I didn't feel quite so lucky this morning when I got soaking wet in the rain. Despite that there was plenty to see with the 2 little stints still being present, along with the ruff and the knot. This afternoon Tim Wright found a turnstone so gave me a good excuse to return. Not that I need much excuse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are 3 favourites on Black Hole Marsh this afternoon. A little ring plover and a little stint being dwarfed by a black tailed godwit.</div>

There were plenty of good birds to be seen today (well yesterday now) starting with Seaton Marshes. On the way down to the hide were the usual linnets and goldfinches along with some young pied wagtails, several wheatear and a whinchat. There was nothing much from the hide itself but on the way back there where too many wheatears to count. They were in the grass, all along the posts and flying over. The whinchat didn't show again unfortunately but there were a few yellow wagtails with the cows, though they were never particularly close and difficult to pick out in the long grass.</div>

Earlier this week I was fortunate enough to see some of the River Otter beavers which was so exciting and I still can't believe how lucky I was. Black Hole Marsh has had plenty to look at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
recently even after the least sandpiper, though the water levels are currently quite high at the moment with the high tides.</div>

I thought I was lucky yesterday with the least sandpiper giving such close views but today for a few of us it was unbelievably close. As I'm not usually able to get quite so close with my camera set ups I couldn't resist a few more pictures of such a rarity to add to yesterdays posting. Having given such wonderful views for some time it then proceeded to sleep just in front of us. How privileged we were to be so near to this beautiful tiny little wader! It really is rather cute.<br />

Unlike a few of our intrepid birders who were over Black Hole Marsh for 5.30am I'm ashamed to say 7.30 seemed plenty early enough for me. Actually it turned out it was for I was lucky enough to have some wonderful close views of this tiny sparrow size bird just as I was getting restless and ready to move on. Unfortunately as many of you know I am not the most patient of people and sometimes wonder how it is I can be so lucky with what I do see. Thanks to those who made the effort to identify it late last night and share it with the rest of us. </div>

Its been a lovely week weatherwise with plenty of birds to enjoy even if not in large numbers. There have been a few little ring plovers on Black Hole Marsh along with the usual black tailed godwits, redshanks, dunlin, lapwings and a large numbers of little egrets (38 being present at one time). There were up to 11 common sandpipers and 3 green sandpipers earlier this week though the greens had gone the next morning. The Oyster catchers continue to feed their young although they're growing fast now and a stunning marsh harrier with a striking cream coloured head has been present in the area for the last couple of days. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I've finally got my hands on the new panasonic 100-400mm lens which many of you will know comes out as a 200-800mm on the micro 4/3 system. I've waited a long time for this lens which arrived monday and I immediately paired it up with my Olympus EM-1 and left the nikon behind. I know many are wondering how well it will work with an Olympus just like I was and it works exceptionally well. Using only the in lens stabilisation it gives great results. Here it is next to my nikon with latest 300mm plus 1.4 converter which I thought was small but look at the size of this little Panasonic lens!</div>

Pretty impressive and can only get better. In poor light it won't fair so well but then neither does my nikon set up as I don't own any really fast lenses, and to be honest not many of us want to take photos in poor light anyway. So, I'm impressed and have had a lot of fun with this little set up this week. I have always found the Olympus a joy to use and as it is nearly 3 years old now I am eagerly awaiting the Olympus EM-1 mark 2, rumoured to be much faster focusing amongst other things and hopefully out later this year. </div>

There has been a little bit of wader movement on the wetlands over the last week with increasing numbers of the usual black tailed godwits, curlew and redshank. I've seen up to 6 lapwing though there's probably more and a distant greenshank. The 2 oyster catcher chicks are doing well though one is quite a bit bigger than the other. Mediterranean gulls are being seen on the river and there have been up to 4 little ring plovers on Black Hole Marsh. </div>
