A two hour walk around Lodmoor Nature Reserve Weymouth produced a flock of 24 Black-tailed Godwits. Many of them still had some of their breeding plumage showing. The only problem again with these birds was like the last time a smaller flock was observed. They remained at some distance from the pathway. So a 600mm equivilant lens with a 1.4 converter attached was needed.
It is always good to find a plant of Lady's Smock (Cuckoo Flower) in bloom.
The Common Dandelion appears everywhere now.
The first Speckled Wood Butterfly I have observed this Spring.
This one would have emerged from hibernation recently.
The resourceful Wood Pigeon finds a variety of food throughout the year.
Here it is tucking into some grass.
Blossom from a small Wild Apple tree.
It is a bit ragged and not the lovely cultivated Apple Tree blossom.
More scenes from around the Reserve.
