A Day at Lodmoor Reserve and Portland (South)


It is a difficult time to find something interesting in nature at the moment. Birds are hiding away in the thick leafy areas. Many of the butterflies are over or not at their best. Wader and shore birds have yet to return to the area.

With what is normally a more quiet time and the exceptionally wet and continuous rainfall, finding something different is difficult.

I walked around Lodmoor Reserve,Weymouth and the most interesting thing was two Black-tailed Godwits in their Summer plumage and a Little Egret.

At Portland I found a few distant Goldfinch, some butterflies and many immature Starlings.

  1. Bonsoir cher Roy.
    Il est vrai que le mois d'août a toujours été très calme. C'est un aperçu d'un monde sans oiseau et il n'y a pas plus triste monde que celui-ci.
    Tes deux barges sont jolies toutes les deux .
    La première photo de l'étourneau me plaie beaucoup. Bravo.
    Bonne nuit Roy 😊

    1. Merci Nathalie. Votre commentaire sur le fait qu'il s'agit d'un monde plus triste sans oiseaux est tout à fait correct.
