It was a bit of a shopping run today, which saw me on the other side of Weymouth around Littlemore.
It was quite surprising just how many bird species I recorded from this spot, as its only a few acres in size.
Main highlights were a Water Rail, Grey Wagtail, Cetti's Warbler, 2 Chiffchaffs and a 2 Siskins overhead.
There were a few Common Wasps in the hedgerow and on the weir there was a Peacock butterfly sunning itself.

On two of the three pools were pairs of Mallard, apart........
.........from the last pool where there was just this lone drake.
He's certainly very smart looking
Just as I was leaving a Grey Wagtail dropped in at the bottom of the weir.
