 Wild salmon river

 River bridge

Peacok on the run

Monday 16th May decided on a different walk for Beau always wanted to try the river walk at Umberleigh. We were able to park at the antique centre then head along the river path towards Chittlehampton (we love the names of the villages in Devon) Ros spotted the kingfisher then in front of us was a peacock in the wild! must have escaped from a stately home. When we got to the top of the hill from the river it looked like the black clouds were rolling in so we did about turn. On way back we sat on the river bank where Ros saw the kingfisher, what we did not realise was the kingfisher had a nest underneath us! & whilst sat there one flew out of the nest across the river so Ros had two sightings in one day! We had also arranged a visit to Higher Hacknell Farm they have been an organic farm since 1984 the meat is wonderful. Whilst there we were also shown the veg garden & orchard. It was a nice end to a great day.
