Shelduck feeding in the shallow water and mud left behind by the ebbing tide at the mouth of the Exe estuary by Dawlish Warren.

Stocky (possibly pregnant) pony with a dappled coat in a field crossed by a footpath.

Carrion crow quartering the exposed sand of the intertidal zone in front of the hide at Dawlish Warren, in search of a tasty morsel or two.

Sutton Mill, Hopstone, is like most surviving mill buildings locally, now converted to living accommodation.

Its architecture proclaims it as a former water mill. But it is some distance from the Claverley Brook, at a somewhat higher level, and I couldn’t spot any signs of remnants of a leat to divert the water to provide the power.

Mushroom with a cap with paler and darker brown rings and a delicate fringe of frost.

Birds at a Wolverhampton garden birdtable earlier today.

Female blackbird, bullfinches, robin, greenfinch.

Towards the end a goldfinch calls, but does not show itself.
