    3rd April 2024 – RHS Garden Rosemoor, Devon

    We have spent the last few days in North Devon. It wasn’t a birding trip but on our visit to RHS Garden Rosemoor I did get to see siskins which are not very common where I live in Bristol.

    I share a few of the other “garden” birds we saw as well as a few photographs from this wonderful garden in Devon.
