Some bird on bird action for those who like that sort of thing

It's well worth reading... I was put onto it by an ex pupil and polymath (much cleverer then me), and it's mind boggling. But still an easy read, having been written in an accessible style while not dumbing down in the leastmasjer said:Not that book in particular, but have read about these things. BBC 4 has had a few interesting programs, The Wood Wide Web is something fairly newly discovered.

There is a bit further up the coast that is literally fossilized root structures.masjer said:I see what you mean, that is amazing. It looks like fungal mycelium. The dog's cool too.
@briantrumpet if you don't already know it here's an excellent off license in Beer which stocks all the local brews.

Yes indeed, there are fossilised roots at Budleigh and Harpford. It's just such a rich area geologically... often less obvious than the main cliffs, and less in-yer-face than my bit of France (where the visible stuff is a mere 40-60 million years old). It is extraordinary to think that these shells are more than 100 million years old.
Haven't actually been to Beer for some while (it's a fairish drop down and climb back up on the bike), but I'll look in there next time I go!
Oh, and if you don't know the resource, there's an amazingly detailed website from a professor at Southampton uni on the geology of the Jurassic coast (and more), here: https://wessexcoastgeology.soton.ac.uk/1 -
Slightly past their best, but hey...

Macroville again.
@rjsterry - photos from Burrow Farm Gardens near Honiton. If you've not been there before, well worth a visit next time you're in East Devon.

If I lived closer, I'd get one of their £32 yearly tickets and would be in there very often. Remarkable to think it was a dairy farm before.rjsterry said:Yes, visited a couple of times, but worth going back.

The puddles were where the reflection I wanted was at... the Exe itself was too choppy.

I did see it before, but now Mitcham has disappeared from your earlier post for me.0 -

This one from this morning amused me... thought I was just photographing one insect, but on looking more closely at home, I see I've got two trying to make more.

Just the right amount of drippiness, and it didn't get stolen by a seagull. And Budleigh and Exmouth, both with a proper sea fog rolling around.

The camera did a decent job of the sunset on HDR tonight... reasonably close to how it looked, I think.

Bought a bottle of refreshing Branscombe Sea Cider in there last year when staying there. I’m not much of a drinker but this intrigued me… and it was pretty good! 👍rjsterry said:

I risked everything (well, seawater on the camera) to get a nice view of waves (and a silly one of my cyclist's tan). I got away with it, thanks to the sandals.

Thanks Pross - still not sure about the lanscape format & framing, and the exposure level, but glad it works for you. I''ve been wanting to catch a reflected moon in a calm Exe for literally years, but the opportunities seem vanishingly small, and the opportunities to get a vaguely satisfying composition even rarer!0 -
That shot could have been a very good abstract if you hadn't of ruined it with the inclusion of those bloody legs!briantrumpet said:I risked everything (well, seawater on the camera) to get a nice view of waves (and a silly one of my cyclist's tan). I got away with it, thanks to the sandals.

A three-church day, but I'll share just two photos: the magnificent east window of Bath Abbey, photographed from outside the west door, and the ridiculously leaning Tower of Puxton.
