I would really like to see the responses for birding sites in the Exeter and
southwest England. My husband and i were in that area in 1998, visiting
tourist-type sites rather than concentrating on birding; it would've been
great to know a prime spot. I do know that Dartmoor is just to the west of
Exeter, which will have birds not found in urban & suburban areas.
I suggest you get onto www.birdforums.net and ask for suggestions from the
local folks. I know they'll be friendly and helpful.
Here are some other links you might find helpful:

It's good to know about the Princeton field guide - thanks!
