Kit Hill quarry

It was a very still day.

And please note you can get a guided tour to see the heath fritillary in June (16/06) (see previous post with excellent pictures)

Kit Hill early bird

I think this is a pipit, but I am not sure which type (tree or meadow), or it could be a lark. As it chose to pose on a tree above the misty Sherwell Valley and it is singing its heart out I think it must be a tree pipit.

cassie cornwall

Spot feels that there haven't been enough dog photos recently, so here is one of Cassie after a hard day at work watching rabbits, eating and barking, plus two walks and a bit of retrieving on the side. He would also like to remind all his ardent fans that it is his second birthday tomorrow and he is expecting BIG presents which is the real reason why Cassie is looking exhausted.
