Back about the birds around Yelverton Brook Eco Spa Retreat, the Fire tailed Finch is a delight to the eye with a bright flash of red over his rump and red mask over his eyes and great white spots on his wings, a typical finch sized bird, quick and darting in movements and is fairly quite around the chalet and are used to people so some fine photo opportunities.
The Grey Fan-tailed Wrens are a beautiful soft grey colouring with a great tail that fans open wide and he dances over the lawns looking for and catching bugs another great pest controller – eco friendly style!
I have seen a very young Grey-tailed Wren that was so light that as he danced and a slight gust of breeze made him tipped over onto his beak, they weigh only in the few grams.
The birdlife is a delight to the eye whilst staying at Yelverton Brook some guests just sit in bed with their binoculars and a bird field guide. Or enjoy a outdoor spa birdspotting with a glass of local wine.
