Snowfall – the perfect bird accessory
February 7, 2018
Living here by the coast in North Devon means that we rarely see snow, salty onshore winds see to that. The last time it snowed on the beach was way back in February 2009. (There are some photos in a blog entitled ‘Can you smell carrots’. Here > https://esterspears.com/2016/01/11/can-you-smell-carrots/ ) Just a few miles up the […]

Purple rain on Exmoor
August 20, 2017
There’s been a lot of rain this summer. (Who’d have thought that when scientists said we would have warmer, wetter summers that we actually would?). Anyhow apart from making the tourists pissed off and having to plan when to mow the lawn, it has meant that north Devon is looking green and lush at the […]
Bows and flows of angel hair
July 13, 2016
For the first time in ages I managed to sneak an afternoon on Exmoor. There was a nippy nor-west wind but it was beautifully clear beneath racing Cumulus clouds. I skirted the north edge of the moor from Brendon to Lorna Doone valley ending up at Robbers Bridge. Big skies and the emptiness of the […]

September’s here; the kids have gone back to school and the tourists have dragged their sad lives and caravans back home. It’s time to reclaim the moor. Here are a few pix from an evening drive out to have a picnic and see if we could find some of Britians largest animal frolicing in the […]
