Dawlish Warren

Continued erosion at Dawlish Warren means visitors are reminded to take extra care when visiting. Access along the site, to and from the bird hide and Warren Point, is via the beach only, with a risk of being cut off for a period either side of high water! Further information is available on the Teignbridge District Council website.

Always good to see a Green Hairstreak, this one sheltering from a fresh SE. 28.2C in the sun at 15.00 in our garden! By 18.00 it will probably be over 30C.

Wood Mouse

A different visitor to the bird feeder this morning. Photographed through the study window at Budleigh Salterton, EX9. It has been seen before, see photo of earlier date: but climbing onto the feeder is a new trick.
