Thanks to a tip off from a local birder, I had tremendous views of a Grasshopper Warbler earlier this evening in #Devon

Watched it for 30 minutes plus as it reeled from various perches.

For more than 100 years, Foggintor Quarry was one of three large Dartmoor granite quarries providing stone for landmarks such as Nelson’s Column. Now the moor has reclaimed this once industrial landscape.

The quarry is now a still, deep lake, great for wild swimming (so I'm told). Long abandoned and wild again.

Cross Gate Cross ~ name taken from the spot at which it now stands, which derives its name from the cross! Original position unknown, perhaps Leathertor Cross mentioned in 1750. What remained was re-erected by Victorian antiquarians on a later shaft.

It lies near the road that goes past Lowery Cross, a mile or so west, emphasising the role of many of these crosses as marking medieval routes across the moor. Taken in December.
