Another Lodmoor Reserve Visit

A two hour walk around Lodmoor Nature Reserve Weymouth produced images of 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.
