Birding was not on the agenda so just one short strategic walk was done, at Prawle Point. It was my first ever visit and I ad only ever seen one Cirl Bunting previously, just up the coast at Berry Head. Getting out of the car a male could be heard signing nearby and was easily tracked down. We spent about an hour on site and saw at least 3 males and 2 females.
Twenty plus of these noisy buggers lived in the castle grounds and provided an alarm call each morning.
The only other bird of note seen was a single Spotted Flycatcher in the castle gardens.
