A quick walk today as we had planned a sea fishing trip in and around Portland Harbour later in the afternoon. A Song Thrush and 2 Blackbirds were the main highlights in the lane.
At the top of the lane on the left, the Dorset Butterfly Club were strimming and cutting back the grass and brambles. From what I could see they were doing a fantastic job and hopefully their efforts will mean more butterflies here next year.
Here are a few images from this morning:

5:15am the Tawny Owl was still calling from around Glen Caravan Park. As per Tuesday night it was calling around 11:00pm and as I was recording it a Redwing called as it flew over.
If this has worked here's a sound recording of the Tawny Owl and a Redwing.
