Broadcroft Quarry Lane, Pool, Bumpers Lane, SW Coast Path, Rufus Castle, Penn's Weare, Church Ope Cove, St Andrew's Church and Penns Wood.
For the first time in several days it wasn't raining and so it was off on my usual walk. Once again though it was very quiet with the main highlights being 9
Rock Pipits and 3
Wrens on the beach at Church Ope Cove. Other than that there was a
Buzzard over the lane and a
Meadow Pipit in the long grass by the pool.
A
Harlequin Ladybird in Penns Wood, just shows you how tough this Ladybird is and why it is such a threat to our native species. Also here 2
Siskins flew south.
Here are a few images from today:
Church Ope Cove. No blue seas today.
A Rock Pipit pauses for a pose.
This one was very interested in this piece of seaweed. It picked it up, tossed it in the air and then grabbed at anything that fell out.

The one and only invertebrate I found today. A Harlequin Ladybird in Penns Wood.
A Public Notice in Bumpers Lane warning you that if you attempt to walk from A to B you will face a fine not exceeding £1000. Additionally if you were on this path A to B and then headed off to C you could face the same fine. It would be interesting to see if there is a similar sign at B, because, as far as I know, there isn't a fence at this position. Its actually about 20 metres further back towards position A. So you've been warned if you walk along the track from B to A you can be fined, even if you were unaware of the Public Notice.
Love the Grid References though. They don't match up to positions A, B and C on the map. According to the text above A is
Here, B is
Here and C is
Here. In fact C is in one of my neighbours garden and as for position A, the grid reference puts you about a mile out to sea south of Chesil Beach.
It really does make me laugh that in this day and age, those in position of authority don't bother to check their work. I would love to see what would happen in a court of law, if they tried convicting someone for being at position A, which according to their precise grid reference puts west of Portland in the sea. 😂
