Beschrijving
Yarner Wood, Trendlebere Down and the Bovey Valley are part of the East Dartmoor Woods and Heath's National Nature Reserve. Yarner Wood itself is a heavily wooded area with many mature Oak trees, it is renowned in Devon for it's breeding population of Bonte Vliegenvanger, also highly likely is Kleine Bonte Specht, Tjiftjaf, Fitis, Zwartkop, Gekraagde Roodstaart, and possibly Grauwe Vliegenvanger. For birdwatchers with more time a walk just to the North onto Trendlebere Down could be productive for Nachtzwaluw, Roodborsttapuit and Boompieper, during winter Blauwe Kiekendief, Smelleken and Velduil are a strong possibility.
