RSPB Radipole Lake

Not much today as the rain just kept falling and falling on strong southerly winds, gusting to around 50mph.

I was out and about in Dorchester and Weymouth today, and managed a quick stop at Radipole Lake. But with the rain lashing down, there wasn't much to see.

Birds Recorded:
1 Great Crested Grebe
1 Cormorant
1 Grey Heron
3 Mute Swan
22 Mallard
8 Tufted Duck
4 Coot
Black-headed Gull
Herring Gull
Wood Pigeon
Magpie
Carrion Crow

An adult Great Crested Grebe

This Cormorant came in low and fast before..........

...........settling on the water next to the visitors centre.

This Grey Heron doesn't look to impressed as the rain just kept falling.

As I was photographing the wildfowl, this Mute Swan came to see what was going on.
