A grey day on the Teign
I’m out with my son in the early morning. He has a camera too and takes a photo of me.
As we walk along the River Teign I spot a Cormorant approaching. It doesn’t see me until the last moment and veers wildly to avoid me:

There’s an Oystercatcher in the grey weather, heading to the mudflats temporarily abandoned by the rushing water:

There are a group of fourteen Mute Swans here. They are separate from the two couples which are nesting upstream. They feed together and fly together.

They also bathe together. If only the light was good I’d be getting some lovely shots.

Maybe tomorrow.
