Second World War Pett Level coastal battery, an emergency battery built as part of Eastern Command's coastal defences. The battery was constructed in 1940-41 and mounted two 6-inch breech-loading guns.

The land is managed by the Pett Level Preservation Trust, and the battery wall now has a bat box attached.

Better shots of the Theraphosa apophysis juvenile this morning. I really hope it's female... Much prettier than the blondii I think, albeit rather more leggy.

My Acanthoscurria geniculata just seems to get fatter and fatter and always hungry. Gorgeous detail on her legs.

Autumn is coming to Sussex at last. Is it me, or are the trees late to start changing colour this year? This was two weeks ago

This is Flatropers Wood, where @sussexwildlifetrust are currently working hard restoring a pond underneath the run of pylons; no aerial view is possible sadly, as not safe to fly in their vicinity.
