As Good As A Mile

House Martin, Colyton, 15/05/2016 ( Copyright T D Wright )

I tried to photograph this Martin collecting moss from an old thatched roof but was just too late. I was also too late to see a Purple Heron that was reported from Colyford Common on Friday 13th. It's almost enough to make one superstitious, isn't it? Well, I'm assuming that whoever wrote PH on the board at the Discovery Hut was correct. I mean, I wouldn't know as I saw lots of Grey Herons whilst looking for it but the purpurea version eluded me. Still, it encouraged me to take some video with my D7100; some of which I've posted above. It's been a while since I used its video function - I almost forgot it had the capability. OK at close range...
