Summary

This short spring tour will explore areas in the north of Exmoor as we look for breeding birds, butterflies and other wildlife that inhabit the ancient woodlands, combes and moorland. Spring is an excellent time to visit when migrant birds, including warblers and flycatchers, return to swell the song of our resident species, nesting is in full swing and young mammals emerge into the world.
