Thanks to spotter Lynn who alerted me to a flock of gannets feeding in the mouth of the river. Actually, there are quite a few collective nouns for gannets . Known variously as a company, a gannetry or, and clearly this is the one we will use.....a plunging of gannets.

Yes, yes, yet another sunrise over the mouth of the river Dart. Better than the norm.

The Train of Bites. This shot of sheep feeding above Waterhead Creek has led to an informal caption competition. The initial winner was Susie with "The Train of Bites"
Although that does require knowledge of the local December entertainment "The Train of Lights". So I will still show off my entry......"The Sheepshank Replenishment."

Lots of building deliveries are done from the river and Warfleet Creek gets more that its fair share. This workboat MC-1 was carring some railings. Whilst it looks like the swimmer if waving a fist, the boat had slowed down a long way before. So, it's probably a wave of thanks.

This sight lasted just two minutes. Sun shining through the thin mist in the mouth of the river Dart. After that it was a grey old morning.

And the collective noun for cormorants ?
A flight of cormorants. Apt. And very, very obvious.

The picket boat replacements have been out and about. Known as OTB's which stands for Officer Training Boat they usually poodle in and out of the river. A mate and I were wondering if they could 'get up on the plane' and the question was soon answered: at least one of them can. These boats are 15 metre Sea Class vessels manufactured by ATLAS Elektronik UK

That's some high wire balancing act. January's full moon lines up a cracking act. Not that the sheep were impressed.
