Devon Birds, a photographic list. 174 species so far.

Devon is my "Home" County, this is a photographic catalogue of my bird sightings from the county. They are included here for recording purposes only and not for photographic worth. Each bird is illustrated by one photograph except where there is clear sexual dimorphism, in which case both male and female may be included. Latest new photo is Goldcrest.
