Devon Birds, a photographic list with some video. 272 species to date from my home county.

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 the 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. Sub-species are included as a separate species for the purpose of this gallery. Latest new species added to the Devon Gallery is Purple Heron.
