Slapton Ley South Hams Coast Devon.

 

"Ramblings"

Only a few occasions have I arrived at or been driving past Slapton ley during the sunrise hours to find some welcome mist over the ley.

I`m sure these atmospheric conditions over the lake occur a little more often during the early hours than I happen to see but for the most part its only the weekend mornings I can make time to visit.

This was the best I have witnessed with the mist covering most of the ley as normally its just a few pockets drifting around the lake and I was not expecting to see any mist on a mild July morning so a nice welcome surprise and a lovely start to the day.

You need a little luck on your side having the Swans in an ideal location for images as it is a rather large lake with only a few areas you get an eye level perspective over the water so a nice bonus when the Swans play ball and a photo opportunity comes together.

 

The Mute Swan my "Spark Bird" that lead me up the happy path of "Birding" and bird photography back in spring 2020.

And to this day the graceful Swans are is still my fav waterbird to watch and photograph especially if you happen upon some atmospheric mist.
