I have not been around the Portland nature areas for a while now. Things are looking more Springlike.
The lovely Thrift or Sea Pink small flowers (Armeria maritima) are blooming on the pebble areas of the Chesil Beach at Ferry Bridge.
So on that area I went looking for Wheatears, but equally fortunately, I found Linnets.
Mostly males, they were feeding on the green shoots growing low to the ground.
In Penn Wood I did find there were Small White Butterflies on the wing.
From their appearance they had survived overwinter.
This one below was searching for nectar in a 'Herb Robert' flower.
