Otterton. The Mill

Everywhere is in LockDown because of Coronavirus. We only get out to walk Jedi nowadays. The Mill at Otterton has an empty car park, gates shut, mill closed. It's like a ghost town.

River Otter at Otterton

There is a bridge at Otterton that the River Otter gently walks under. This shot shows how the walk has gathered pace into a race as the swollen river dashes to the sea and all because we've had three storms in a row in recent weeks.

Otterton's friendly robin

At Otterton Mill there is a very friendly robin that seems to be breeding well. This looks like a baby robin who will grow quickly because he will pick up offerings directly from the table.

Otterton

Clamour Bridge appears in a painting of Otterton Park by Rev. John Swete on his perambulations in 1795. It shows a view of the river Otter with the warren (hill) in the background and a delightful grouping of trees with a primitive wooden bridge over the river and a lady standing in the middle. The River Otter is here quite swollen after recent heavy rain showers, the lady is also missing.

Otterton after rain

We got soaked by a mighty downpour on our walk to Otterton. Having sampled Otterton Mill's scones and coffees we returned as the clouds were hurrying away. The shafts of sun picked out the Otterton colours making the homeward walk quite pleasant.
