Aclose up of a snails 'eyes and ears' as it crossed our lawn. Apparently its vision isn't good and it didn't respond when I called it, so maybe its ears aren't too clever either.

Ugh! Quite. Whilst the cruise ship Sea Cloud Spirit was working its way into the harbour i saw this snail gliding across the lawn.

It looked pretty amazing using a macro lens. Those tentacles house its sensors. The two top ones are eyes and ears and the bottom two are for touch.

This blackbird was singing its heart out and then waited for a response. The camera's motordrive did seem to confuse the chap. He certainly got louder.

Seals are sometimes said to be solitary creatures. But that's when out at sea hunting. On shore (on a pontoon) they congregate. They just don't form close attachments apparently. I know some people like that.

Construction crews at Noss on Dart marina have installed this crane to assist in the building of the new hotel. On the opposite river bank in huge letters (50 metres high perhaps) are the initials "TFR". Which apparently means "Temporary Flying Restrictions". And so here is pictured an Army Wildcat helicopter temporarily restricting its flying. The long lens has foreshortened all distance, the aircraft was likely a couple of hundred yards away from the jib. But the crane driver might have had a few different thoughts.
