Two grey seals sunning themselves as they rested on a jetty on the River Dart. One of them seemed to be watching the passing boat with as much attention as we were watching them.
Two of a large group of active house sparrows which haunted the garden of a coffee shop, paying attention ready to remember the spot where every crumb fell.
Birch bolete growing under the silver birches (d’oh) on the edge of the pitch and putt in Bantock Park. It’s autumn, and the main fungi season is now well under way, but this is the only one I’ve noticed on several recent visits to Bantock Park. Eve this only lasted a day before someone noticed it and kicked it over.
Small selection of the stunning views on a boat trip on the River Dart heading downstream from Totnes to Dartmouth.
Looking upstream when the deep meanders of the river open up the view is the brooding mass of Dartmoor rising beyond Totnes with its narrow streets, tall church tower and castle. On either shore the lush countryside of the South Hams, with country houses and prosperous-looking villages beyond the wildlife-rich banks of the river.
Sea holly by the seaside: another of the plants in Teignmouth’s Den.
