Please take extra care when visiting Dawlish Warren. We have been informed that due to the recent bad weather there has been significant erosion from Groyne 10 eastwards. This means that access along the site, to and from Warren Point (and the bird hide) will be via the beach only, with a risk of being cut off for a period either side of high water! Signs have been put up to alert people to the hazards, but people need to be aware that access routes that they have become used to may not be available and they need to exercise extreme caution,  with the possibility of being cut off by the tide, and people are strongly urged not to try climbing the sand cliffs. Further information is available on the Teignbridge District Council website.

Wood Whites showing well at Meeth Quarry today

Well,  I was excited to see this on Richmond Walk in Devonport, Plymouth this morning Sunday 29th

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.

Red-veined Darter over winter wheat field!

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.
