Almost caught up, folks: This is now only last weekend before last weekend...!
Only a short one, this time, as I had plans. So I reckoned to just amble up Great Mis Tor, get out of the toothy wind, and have lunch while admiring the view and maybe even some nearby birdies.
Well, it sort of worked.
Looking out from the Mis
over Walkham valley
over Walkham valley
It was quite nice up there.
[Out of the wind, anyway...]
Scenic scenery;
Middle Mis Tor
Up Top
A couple more outcrops
[Great Mis being covered in them]
Spot the Mistor Man
The southern west tors* and away past Plymouth
Mostly it was very quiet, bird-wise. It took more than an hour for even a Mipit to show itself, even. [I doubt the wind the the whole weekend thing helped]
That saying, eventually it got very birdy;
Just one or two...
Feel free to count them for yourself o;)
I also got some close ups..
Golden Plover
Up close
BLEEPing drone..!!!!
Not amused.
With all the birds driven off, what was there to look at?
Brent Tor
Nitrous Waxcap
H. reidii
P. semilanceata
Ahem.
I also stopped off at Vitifer on my way home, just 'cos. Only a quick look from the Overlook, though.

Lots of berries on the Hawthorns
