Weekend in the South West

Had a very enjoyable weekend in Cornwall & Devon with my other half, celebrating my 30th birthday (eeeek!) between 02/11 - 05/11.

 Did a little bit of birding, here and there, popping into Bowling Green Marsh near Exeter and doing a bit of walking along the coastal paths around Polzeath & Port Isaac. Birding highlight of the weekend was a visit to Labrador Bay near Teignmouth for Cirl Buntings. I managed to find at least 30 birds showing well at the western end of the reserve, sheltering from the stiff easterly wind.
