Had a lovely wander along the Grand Western Canal today. It was teeming with Roach and I spotted a few Perch too.

I like this photo of a small Pike though. Only taken on a camera phone but I could tell he was waiting for lunch to swim by.

Great photo! Very clear for a canal, no boats?

Very few boats, and they just tend to be at the Tiverton end. The water is certainly clear.

Lots of Moorhens too, and we'll often spot a Kingfisher. Saw a fox hunting ducklings a while back.

Lovely place for a stroll on the Somerset/Devon border.
