rhodo jungle


one of the hundreds of subspecies of rhododendron in the woods opposite Endsleigh.

Tamar hairy seal


a very rare image of the Tamar hairy seal ploughing upstream (note radio collar for GPS)

purple toothwort returns


seemingly rare, but definitely spreading, the elusive purple toothwort, appearing on time deep in the woods.

chiff chaff


this could be any one of a number of warbler types (what Bill Oddie describes as willow chiffs) but its call is very distinctive.

pink purslane


continuing the pink theme, pink purslane is back along the Inny. My impression is that this is quite early this year.

Venterdon sunsets


another stunning sunset over our village, the weather is set fair for a very fine Easter break. The mower is working, the grass is growing, I know where I will be.
