Spring tides and surf in Torbay

The period of spring tides made me head into the Bay looking for the very low tide.  I’ve found in the past that you can access/photograph rock pools that cannot be seen for much of the month and that was the plan.  There was only one day of the peak tides [...]

Changeable weather around Dawlish Warren

It was time to get back to the coast again after some nice walks on Dartmoor.  There was only one day in the week when the forecast was for good weather so we headed over to Dawlish Warren.  My last blog was from the summer of 2010 and is [...]

On the south west coastline in Cornwall

I’ve [...]

On the edge of the water

It has been raining quite a bit over the past few days and the ground on the moors would be very wet so, given a forecast of reasonable weather, I headed towards the coast.  The Little Egret seen above is not an uncommon species in the West Country these days but [...]
