Woodbury Common trees

Woodbury Common is an area of outstanding beauty and has a wealth of scenery to astound. It is also a remarkable opportunity to take lovely photographs. This clump of trees hiding the sun is a good example (not necessary wonderful in this case).

Woodbury Common

The Woodbury Common is owned by Clinton Devon Estates, but there are lots of paths that criss-cross the area enabling access to the splendid views around. From the high points the sea and coastline can be seen. Geologically the area is called the pebbled heath.

Woodbury's church is dedicated to Saint Swithun and is early 15th century (consecrated in 1409): the Perpendicular style is mixed with elements of the older Decorated.

A beetle of Woodbury

Not John, George, Paul or Ringo. I think this may be a bloody-nosed beetle, in Latin, "Timarcha tenebricosa".

Woodbury tree creeper

I watched this treecreeper run up the tree trunk, dive into a hole, then fly out again. Its beak was full of grubs when it entered the hole but not when it flew off.
