It's not just cream teas


In fact our attempt to get a cream tea failed miserably.

Left: The cliffs at Budleigh Salterton in Devon. Old Red Sandstone I believe. (Well, definitely old and definitely red.)

While walking by the River Otter on Saturday we saw two herons and two pheasants (but didn't have the camera). The next day on the beach at Budleigh, a sparrowhawk (above or possibly right when Blogger has arranged the page to its liking) settled on a beach hut.

There is such a lot of nature in Devon!

The River Otter, but no sign of Tarka?? xx

No sign of any otters. Apparently they are 'shy nocturnal creatures. You are more likely to see minks (probably freshly released from captivity by an animal rights group!)'

What a beautiful place. Too bad you couldn't get a cream tea, though.
