Because the weather is so beautiful here today, we decided to have a trip down to the River Teign at Combeinteignhead in order to commune with nature.
We were rewarded with sightings of:
- a little Egret paddling around on the riverbank and then perching on the branch of an oak tree
- four cormorants in a group which swam just 10 yards in front of us, diving and feeding as they went
- a Kingfisher which perched on the lower branches of the above mentioned oak tree, diving into the water below on several occasions
- a solitary house martin which seems to have been left behind as its mates have all headed south for the winter
- and, for the first time in all of our visits to this idyllic spot, a grey seal which had caught a fair sized fish and proceeded to eat its brunch right in front of us
We are seriously lucky to live here and to be able to witness Nature in all of its glory on a regular basis.
