Well the weather forecast was for rain, and didn't it just, especially this morning, with what can only be described as a deluge. It chucked down! The afternoon wasn't as bad, but it didn't ease off until around 5:00pm.
Early afternoon I had to drop into Littlesea and a quick seawatch here from the car, revealed a few Oystercatchers, Curlew and Shelduck in Lynch Cove.
On the way back to Portland I just caught a glimpse of the 5 over-wintering Bar-tailed Godwits on the Sandbanks at Ferrybridge.

A few nights back I took a few photos of the nightlife in the back garden and conservatory.
A Common Toad in the "bath" pond.
And then there were two.
Silverfish (Lepisma saccharina)
And another.
Yellow Slug (Limacus flavus)
And another but much smaller Yellow Slug
