There is only a roadway and the shoreline between the Weymouth Bay and Lodmoor Reserve.
On a day this week when I visited the Reserve it was extremely cold and overcast. Most of what I was able to photograph was Golden Plover of which there is a large flock overwintering there.
Due to the extensive rainfall from 'Storm Bert' the water around the Reserve was very high.
This obscured much of the landing and roosting areas of the Reserve.
Golden Plover and Lapwing shared much of the limited available ground.
Common Snipe were also very active searching for food and more easily visible than normal.
There was also a Jack Snipe reported, but I was unable to locate it.
Regular take off and landings by the various species made for some opportunity get these images.
SiellÀ on tosi paljon lintuja!

DeleteThree beautiful species that delight any photographer.
ReplyDeleteThe Jack Snipe is also a scarce bird in my country and difficult to locate, although it had already given myself a couple of opportunities to photograph it.
I particularly liked the photos in which the golden plovers are on the ground and gathered very close to each other.
Greetings,

Thanks JR for your kind words.
DeleteI know Lodmoor so I can picture it. Love your images - I have only seen Golden Plover once far away in a field. Would love to see some closer up!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mandy. They are amazing birds and the plumage is more distinct than you would think.
