The purpose of the Windy Post was to act as a marker for the Tavistock to Ashburton moorland track which in effect was an early medieval route connecting Buckfast and Tavistock abbeys. For centuries this lone cross has stood upon the bleak moorland with the Grimstone and Sortridge leat for company.
Many consider that the age of the cross dates back to the sixteenth century and that possibly it replaced a much earlier cross, English Heritage however notes on its Pastscape Record that the cross is of medieval origin and date it to between 1400 and 1499. Today the time-worn granite pillar displays the effects of numerous cattle and ponies rubbing up against it which has resulted in a somewhat 'drunken' tilt. As with many of Dartmoor's granite relics the Windy Post proudly wears a multi-coloured coat of lichens which serve to emphasise its rugged texture.
Another photo from our very first day out and about after the lockdown restrictions were eased. This is from a circular walk taking in Vixen Tor, Pew Tor and Windy Post Cross. Often photographed the set-up with the stream in the foreground and the leaning granite cross in the back is just too good to skip although by now probably every possible angle and weather condition has been done. I much pefer my first capture with the dramatic clouds in the back but I definitely weren't complaining for a lovely sunny day out so no clouds it is! BTW, the cross dates back to possibly the 14th century!
I made a video of the entire circular walk: youtu.be/fETPdBSnSUk
The Meadow Pipit gets a raw deal in the bird world what with cuckoo's and birds of prey - but they still pose and sing nicely

This is a shot from last winter, taken after the owl downed a vole (post prandial) and was flying off to its next perching spot to rest and seek out more voles.

No Mask needed for this Cormorant. He’s at work on his Post, social distanced from others, and eating a healthy fresh-fish diet. Life is Good : )
(Nikon, 500mm + TC 1.4, 1/1000 @ f/8, ISO 1000)
For most birds, wet feathers are highly undesirable because they impede their ability to fly and don’t provide insulation. But cormorants dive underwater to catch food. They have feathers that become easily waterlogged, which allows them to dive deeper by preventing air bubbles from getting trapped underneath their feathers. This is one reason you often see cormorants standing with their wings spread, drying their wet wings after diving.
Dark body with orange bare skin at the base of the bill. Breeding adults are all black. Immatures and nonbreeders have paler breast. Dives underwater to catch fish. Swims like a duck in between dives. Finds open perches to spread wings and dry feathers. Can be in large flocks or solo.
