17K steps around Dartmoor today taking in the beautiful views. Highlights were crossbills and a cute flock of bullfinches. Also saw this Goosander on the drive home past the Plym, so stopped for a quick snap. #ukbirding

I’m thinking of selling my HIKMICRO Habrok Pro HQ50L Multi-Spectrum Thermal Binocular - 640px 50mm with 4K Optical Camera LRF and Harness × 1. They are a brilliant piece of kit and have helped us find lots of birds! They have been looked after, practically as new. I bought them less than a year ago.

LIFER! 9 hours over four seperate occasions but I saw my 260th bird, the stunning Rose-Coloured Starling. What a beauty. Lovely chats with some brilliant birders and locals rooting for us to see it. Can't imagine there are many locals in Wembury who do not know about them! #ukbirding
