Once a Methodist Chapel, now residential apartments.

If you zoom in (three clicks) you'll see the bricked up window has a mural of the Dart Valley.

Had to take a picture of this crow. Nowhere near as sleek as they usually appear, it looked like it overdid the conditioner.


All fluffed up by Phil Gayton, on Flickr

I'm told it's probably one of this years fledglings and will not lose its early, fluffy head feathers for a month or two yet.

I've not been up to Queen's Marsh for a while, so took walk along the river this morning.

The green of the moss on this branch was really lit up by the low morning sun, couldn't help but catch my eye.

I was lucky to get that shot of the duck, it was zipping about on the far side of the river and I had to use the full 50x zoom of the camera. Took 30 quick shots and that's the best of them.

When I woke it was raining, but forecast to clear before 8. The forecast was right and Vire Island was looking splendid in the clear, bright air.
