Learning photography and discovering wildlife simultaneously around Devon

@JoKingDevon Been people shooting in the fields next to Charleton Marsh regularly this year. Watched a Goose get shot down in flight as I was walking through last month. Did wonder if it's legal or not

Selling my Sigma Sport 150-600mm Nikon fit plus 1.4 Tele converter and UV filter. Excellent condition, just don't use it since buying the Sony Bridge. £850, based in Plymouth

Osprey in Frogmore again 😍

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

Barn Owl on Charleton Marsh from Sunday evening, first one I've been able to watch hunt 😍

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

Osprey just flown from the mouth of Frogmore to the mouth of Blanks Mill

@SmalePerry Merlin app giving me the continental names 😆 thanks

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

A very proud Seal popped up to show off his big Garfish at Start earlier 😆

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

Also caught up with the local Peregrines, I believe they're this year's chicks from Plymbridge. There were 3 but one flew off before I managed a picture

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

Spent half the day fishing and the other half watching Kestrels yesterday. My favourite bird 😍 nice to have the Sony bridge now to take out with me while fishing, not quite the same as having the Sigma but much easier to carry!

New resident at Charleton Marsh today. Very quiet on the marsh other than the geese

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

Forder Valley was full of insects today, even seen my first Marbled White. All the Ragwort along the path was covered, great to see

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

Nice walk along Plymbridge today, Kingfisher, 2 Dipper and many Wagtails the highlights. Peregrine's heard but not seen

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

Had my first Poplar Hawk Moth in the light trap recently, what a beauty

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

Probably selling my Sigma Sport 150-600 (Nikon) with teleconverter soon if anyone is after one? Bit the bullet and ordered the Sony bridge as I think I'll use it more often than the big lens. Possibly a D7500 too although I may keep that to use with other lenses

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

@BBCSpringwatch any idea why Ray, Thornback in this case would do this?
This was on the Kingsbridge Estuary in Devon

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

@BBCSpringwatch Reminded me of these beasts I spotted a couple weeks ago on a local estuary

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

First time I've put the trap out this year and it was very quiet. This Fox Moth was the only one of note, not seen one before

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

The new wildlife pond in Forder Valley, not much water at the moment in this dry spell but the wild flowers are looking amazing

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

Forder Valley looking lovely with all the wild flowers blooming. Great to have this on my doorstep

[WildDevon @Wild__Devon]

@StephMurphy Thanks

Any help on ID please? Top of Charleton Marsh at the moment
