RSPB Radipole Lake
After a visit to Weymouth Hospital to have some stitches out, it was short stop at Radipole Lake, to see what was about from the bridge next to the RSPB visitors centre.
Unfortunately there had been some very heavy rain, and the water levels were very high covering the "beach" around the island just in front of the bridge, so no chance of any waders etc. on the edge here.
Birds Recorded:
6 Cormorant
Mallard
Teal
Tufted Duck
1 Marsh Harrier
Moorhen
Black-headed Gull
Mediterranean Gull
Herring Gull
1 Great Black-backed Gull
Wood Pigeon
Dunnock
1 Cetti's Warbler
Blue Tit
Magpie
Carrion Crow

Wakeham
After a wet start, it turned out really nice with blue skies and the odd cloud.
I still haven't risen to the occasion, where I will have a short walk down the back garden and back. But I will soon. However I did stick my head outside the conservatory door this afternoon.

This puffed up Wood Pigeon was trying to keep warm in the Sycamore at the bottom of the garden, unlike......
............this Herring Gull which is keeping warm next to this chimney pot.

I will get outdoors eventually. But for the time being, I will be adjusting to my post-op physical capabilities, which sadly doesn't mean walking any distance at the moment.
