Sun rising over the River Exe as seen from Exeter Quay, with a lone rower heading downstream.

Limpets and whelks sticking to rocks temporarily exposed in the intertizal zone, or in rock pools in the same area, all on the beach at Lee, north Devon.

Grey wagtail, feeling safe even though I was only a few yards away, because it was screened by vegetation. Possibly the mate of the bird seen in this post yesterday.

Thistle, the new growth already well advanced in the mild climate of north Devon as 2016 drew to an end. I got in close for a picture which is an abstract of pattern and texture.

Grey wagtail, stepping through mud as it intently looks for food, by the edge of the river on the quay at Exeter recently.

Small mushrooms growing on a tiny front lawn by the Tettenhall Road. I didn’t get close enough to have a go at identifying the species, but they are probably some kind of waxcap.

CORRECTION: identified by Lukas Large as probably Earthy Powdercaps which have had their surface granules washed off.
