Whats the white flower? Blowed if I can make it out....maybe I just dont know
I'm not sure, Pleb. I did take a close-up too, if that's any help:
Love the dozing dragon tree. That one open eye watching is too realistic
Yes, you could imagine the eye suddenly opening after I stepped on a twig as I tried to creep past...
Great TR , caught my interest by the intro photos posted here...
I posted a photo of a dust devil that crept up behind me almost at the spot I saw the Wheatear.
Thanks, Barewirewalker - and I love that picture of the dust devil, a great shot!
I think your mystery bird may be a Wheatear;
Pretty birds and I often say Shrike when I mean Wheatear, so I had to check , hence the link.
Yes, I agree, it's a Wheatear. We get quite a few of them on Dartmoor. Here's a photo I took a couple of years ago.
Cheers, both. I really appreciate the help and I've updated the blog post with the right info now.
