Recent heavy rain and consequent flooding brought many trees down rivers like the Exe. This one was stranded in the estuary for at least a few days, exposed on the mud at low tide.

A flock of godwits flying over the Exe estuary recently, lit frontally and in silhouette as they wheeled around.

A wild carrot, almost finished flowering. In the background, an out of focus poppy is an intrusive parch of colour.

Fleabane flowering as it grew from a fence.

A serin singing as it eyes its territory, while perched on the highest twig of a tree on Capri.

A prickly pear, one flower opening, others beginning to turn to seed.
