So I couldn't wait! Phone edit for now. A brilliant day at Budleigh. Snow buntings are the cutest. #olympus #om1 #wildlifephotographer #devonphotographer #devon #devonbirds #omsolutions #birdphotography

Has there every been a duller, more devoid of personality and excitement Giro leader? Awful race to watch too, no competition. Yawn. Even Cadel had better victory salutes! #giroditalia #jonasyawnaguad #giro #vismapharma

So Devon lifers are back up and running, self found little gulls off Exmouth seafront today. Two adult birds, this one snuck in close and I missed a good shot! Grrr. Serious conditions out there. Epic seeing some other regular species in the rough stuff! #birding #stormingrid

First bird pic of the year! The ever cute stonechat. Lovely winter colours on the coast today. Should I do a year list, not sure I can be arsed, a few more Devon ticks and lifers be good though. #devonphotographer #jurrasiccoast #stonechat #birding @OMSYSTEMcameras

Today we celebrate Boxing Day in the UK, so named because cats spend the day exploring empty boxes discarded from Christmas Day

Review of the Week: 1-7 December 2025 A Lesser Crested Tern in Devon was a midwinter shock, as was a showy Eurasian Scops Owl in South Wales. Sam Viles rounds up this week's action: bit.ly/3KGTVc5
