Weir Quay today on the lovely banks of the Tamar, West Devon. The Bere Peninsula below Tavistock comprises land on both the Tavy & Tamar rivers. It’s a former C 19th industrial hub on the River Tamar that evolved from a port for exporting locally mined silver-lead to a boatyard. #Devon #photography

Today a vulture, falcon and hawk all visited me in my garden, really !
It was part of Steve’s Christmas present to me.
I’m too unwell to attend westcountry falconry’s displays so he kindly brought three birds to me. I had the pleasure of meeting a Lanner falcon, a Turkey vulture and a Harris hawk.

Thuidium tamariscinum or common tamarisk moss on a willow near Whitchurch Down yesterday, #Dartmoor, #Devon. #photography #mosstodon
Historically, moss (not this species), was collected across Dartmoor in WW1 ‘moss drives’, to be used in wound dressings.
