Posted on 02/01/2017 19:18 by brueI was up on Exmoor today, in beautiful wintery sunshine with empty moors all around. I noticed quite a few of the sheep had their horns painted in orange fluorescent paint, an anti car device no-doubt in these dark winter days when quite a few animals get run over.
I also spotted some Exmoor ponies with their lovely thick winter coats so I stopped to take a quick photo of one handsome little pony eating some of the sparse moorland food.
The journey was from Dulverton, over the tops, down to Simonsbath, down through Watersmeet where the old lodge is being repaired just now. Then up Countisbury Hill and on towards Porlock, taking in the view of Porlock and Selworthy Beacon.

A trip to the Avon Gorge to catch sight of the perigrine proved almost fruitless as the bird sat in a tree on the far side for the whole time I was there, but a few regulars popped up. Mouse, Robin, Grey Squirrel, Dunnock and Mistle Thrush.

lovely walk in glorious winter sunshine round our local estate, not the housing sort, this morning . Kestrel almost overhead hovering but moved off without coming down. Heard at least one woodpecker and the rooks were crawing looking like they were beginning to pair up. Dog had a field day barking at the squirrels, I swear she'll climb a tree one day! One tree had four squirrels that we could see
why aren't they hibernating?
