No local sightings today as Dawn and I took Benji and Ted for a walk along the Jurassic Coastline at Charmouth in the search for some fossils. We didn't find any, but it was an interesting walk, albeit a very cold one.
Here are a few images from this afternoon and evening:

There was even a friendly seal here to greet us.
She wasnt phased by us at all and came to us and not the other way round.
