A rather wonderful book has been unearthed by my colleague Jo and given to me to share with you. It captures everyday life in great detail in West Luccombe in the 1940s. Here are a few of my favourite plates from the book. More to come.

Another beauty from
・・・
After more than five years photographing the Peregrine i would love to think they get familiar with my presence. I’m not sure if there is such a thing. Perhaps they can sense I’m not a threat posing so beautifully.

Earlier this week .g.davey took some lovely shots out at Three Combes Foot, which we shared. He was out there in a mission it seems. What a result…
・・・
And here’s the reason I was out at Three Combes Foot - I was doing a recce for this shot, which finally came off last night. It’s an even longer tramp out there in the dark, but I had my good friend Steve Key for company. And the star trails are just for fun.

Have a Good Friday night everyone!

A beautiful set by .g.davey taken yesterday: ‘A nice walk out to Three Combes Foot for a little photography - both a proper camera and drone. Some really lovely porcelain mushrooms, and some ‘Star Jelly’. ’

Just to clarify - I thought it was clear so apologies if not - this report is from the Exmoor Society. It is not our work. We are but messengers, sharing the information. 😊

TIP that I’ve just learnt: if you want to read it on your phone, open in an external browser so that you can rotate view.

In response to the controversy accompanying the planned reintroduction of pine martens and white-tailed eagles in Exmoor, The Exmoor Society has commissioned a report to provide a balanced overview of the evidence and point to ways that the process might be improved. Below is a link to their briefing document, which gives a summary of the findings, and also the full report, which they hope people will find interesting.

Coming up this Friday. You don't need to be a farmer to attend: this is for anyone interested in water on Exmoor.

Good morning everyone. Fluffy boots and bigger jumpers time! Today’s morning post is a combination of two from Jochen Langbein Langbein Wildlife relating to the rut. First: “A few more picture from a first day filming the early phase of the red deer rut on Exmoor. Video of this is on my youtube channel (see profile).”

I know it’s not pretty but I thought I really should share this too. Jochen also reminds us to take extra care when driving at this special time because the rut sees the second peak in the year for deer collisions on the roads. Earlier this week he wrote: “Rather ironic that on this morning, on my way to meet a TV crew to do an interview to raise awareness about the imminent autumn peak in deer-vehicle collisions, I came across a red deer pricket that was hit by a vehicle on the edge of theQuantock Hills National Landscapes National Landscape during the night. A pertinent reminder to take extra care on the roads as the autumn rut of our large deer species (red, fallow, sika) and longer nights approach.
For a video of live deer crossing the very same stretch of the A39 see an earlier clip I filmed there : https://bit.ly/dawndeercrossing”.
