Snow on Dartmoor today albeit briefly. Unfortunately, I was walking on Aylesbeare and Woodbury Commons on the other side of the Exe estuary looking for Dartford Warblers at the time.
Ironically I will be passing Yes Tor tomorrow morning on my way to Cornwall for the day. Shame I have no time for a detour.
Cornish sea side or moors?
Did you find any? I've been lucky to have had some excellent sightings of them in past years.
Afraid not but I think we heard one. There were some optimistic birdwatchers about looking for them. I don't think hiking and warbler spotting go together too well as one requires walking and the other benefits from a lot of standing.
I have never been much good at standing still. Certainly not on Dartmoor today. Driving sleet and hail. Boy oh boy that felt cold. Didn't walk far in that. I did build a wee snow man though.
It looked there had been a fresh fall overnight but it looked like was melting fast this morning. The snow line was high enough to park on the moor under Rowtor.
Heading off tomorrow to start National Trail number 14, the Peddars Way/Norfolk Coast Path walk. Looking forward to the mountainous surroundings
