| | | Tavistock birds
We spent a few days around Tavistock, in the tin tent, we saw several Dippers where the Tavy is close to the town. Tawny Owls, Fieldfares, Redstarts, etc.

Lots of birds about in the sheltered hollows, really very warm for the time of year, as you say lovely part of the country

Tawny Owls, Fieldfares, Redstarts, etc. | My grandad lives nearby so I've spent many days there in summer and christmas times. The river Tavy walk between the bridges is where I used to see grey wagtails (something I rarely saw) and I saw my first dipper upstream at a trout farm. Did you see any of the trout in the river? |

We saw the dippers from the bridge near the Co-Op end of the town.
The water was rising and too coloured to see any fish, we did see a stoat.
