It was an early start for Carol,Cheryl,Terry and I as we were soon on the 25 then the M4and M5.
a quick loo stop before arriving at Bovey Tracey,infact Bovey Castle where we had a spot of tea.
At 10.00 hrs a falconry display was superb,a Golden eagle cross Steppe eagle was impressive.
Followed by a diminutive White faced Scops Owl ,I had seen one a few years ago in
Brufut woods in the Gambia.Next up a pair of Harris Hawks and finally a Gyr Saker
cross which flew superbly.
Birds around the hotel included Cuckoo,Buzzard,Grey wagtail amongsts others.
The Gyr in flight was amazing.
We left Bovey castle and headed across Dartmoor ,the scenery was superb as we crossed the Dart
the bridges and moor in Spring was a delight.
Crossing Dartmoor we passed the infamous prison and made our way to Falmouth where the
next installment can be read.
