The Lodge at Myrtleberry

The Lodge at Myrtleberry is a holiday cottage for up to 6 people in three bedrooms.
(12)

This FB page is to give a taster, or let you know what's going on around here. We would also very much welcome posts and pictures on our wall from any of our visitors! They say "Location location location", we think we have it - as long as you like healthy rivers, oak woodlands, dramatic coastlines, wildlife, and country pubs to name a few. The Lodge at Myrtleberry is a dog friendly 3-bedroomed holiday let set in splendid isolation right on the bank of the beautiful East Lyn river.

Lovely golden autumnal colours in the valley at the moment

I've hardly seen any salmon in the river this year, so sad to see that there are still fish getting infected with what we suspect is UDN – Ulcerative Dermal Necrosis disease.

The walk from Woody Bay to Hunters Inn & back is one of my most favorite walks in N Devon

A few pics from today - Candlesnuff fungus, a rabbit which wasn't very good at hiding with those ears, Rooting Bonnet, Snowy Waxcap & an unknown one

Up on the moor today looking out for the stags gathering for the rut - there's some magnificent beasts up there, making plenty of noise 😊

Does anyone know anything about "star jelly fungus"? I always thought that it was something to do with frogspawn but this has just appeared on the way down Chiselcombe which can't be anything to do with frogspawn at this time of year. If you Google it, it's been thought to have come from meteors, reported back as far as the 14th century! Tonight is the Draconid meteor shower .... so could it be true??

Lots of Blackening & Scarlet Waxcaps on Exmoor at the moment but haven't seen any Parrot Waxcaps yet. Also an abundance of Parasols.

First time I've seen a female Teal on the East Lyn. I always thought they were estuary / wetland birds rather than river ones

Another sign of autumn is cider making! Mill the apples in to pulp, leave them for 20 mins or so for the tanins to take affect to give the cider colour & flavour, press them in to apple juice, stick them in a barrel in the garage until Easter for all the sugars to turn to alcohol & then enjoy!!

You can't beat a bit of afternoon autumnal sun!

I've just made some Hedgehog Highway holes in our garden fence🦔 !

I've never noticed the camouflage on the back of a common grasshopper before.
Also a common lizard enjoying the sunshine & some Burnett moths getting jiggy with it!

Every sunny day I head up Arnold's Lynhay to look for Purple Hairstreak butterflies. I managed to photograph one way up in the top of the Oaks but hoping for a shot from above to show their beautiful purple upper-wings.
Other pics are a Silver-washed Fritillary, a Gatekeeper & Bell Heather.

Well, fancy this?? The Lodge is available for two glorious weeks in June from Friday 7th.... short stays also possible! The weeks have already been discounted on our website 🙃

The Common Spotted Orchids have started popping up in Barton Wood, plus the Irish Spurge by the path on the way up there. I guess it's time to walk up to Myrtleberry Cleave where the orchids put on a great show

Had to take the car in for a service this morning which gave me a chance to walk along the Taw estuary. Swallows, Shelduck, Roe deer & a swarm of honey bees taking residence in a tree

After seeing a couple of posts of Pied Flycatchers returning, I set myself a mission this morning to set off at first light to see if I could see any in the woods round here & very happy to be successful. Not the best of photos but definitely brought a smile to me!

Eel Movie

Another fishcam movie recorded off the TV. Not sure if these eels are fighting or courting or just playing! Watch for yourself to see if you can catch such a good show, as we stream the fishcam live on our website: http://myrtleberry.co.uk/fishcam/index.html

Salmon in the East Lyn

I counted at least 4, possibly 5 salmon... not the best quality as I just filmed it off our TV with my phone! Fabulous time waster ;-) The river is a little low for them to carry on up to spawning grounds.
