Dartmoor Day Two Part Three




Having already done lots of walking in the morning, we went over to Plymbridge in the afternoon with the girls and had a walk along to the Cann Valley viaduct which overlooks the quarry where the peregrine falcons nest. There was a raven nest as well with 4 chicks clearly visible, mouths agape waiting to be fed. It was quite spectacular when a buzzard flew over only to find itself under attack from the ravens. The female peregrine was eating a pigeon presumably brought by her mate as she incubated the eggs for a while before flying into the tress.

Grace was keen to get in the water and ended up with wet feet before we played some games on the old railway line.

Beach walk

 We all seem to be ill. Maria's dance showcase on Saturday evening was great but since then it has been downhill. Alison has been in bed...
