In recent weeks the weather has turned into what is becoming the norm around this time of year.
Rain, rain and more rain and high winds. The rivers are starting to rise and if the weather keeps going it will soon be floods again.
The local Reserves where water is present are hardly worth visiting. Birdlife in particular seem to find many places to hide away and any sighting is brief as species dash from one secluded place to another.
I was fortunate to get a couple of shots of this Chiffchaff below.
The Goldcrest below was hiding away in tall trees and a silhouette shot was just about possible.
Mediterranean and Black-headed gulls stand around all day in the cold with very little movement.
The Grey Heron fly about the Reserve and provide a posing shot occasionally.
Of course birds and ducks have to bathe regularly whatever the weather.
There were quite a few Shoveler Ducks at Lodmoor and they spent most of their time feeding or finding shelter.
Lapwings always provide a showing for the camera.
Robins can alway be found somewhere and giving you hungry looks from a perch.
Another reason why Lodmoor Reserve is always cold and windy is that it is located next to Weymouth Bay.
On my local walk early in the morning I was able to capture some misty stream shots.
