It was a change of scenery today, with a walk down to Church Ope Cove. However it appears that no one is allowed to visit the cove, because of recent rock falls. Dorset Council have placed an order prohibiting the use of the footpath, and anyone caught doing so will face a fine up to £1000.
So my walk was somewhat shortened, but I was still able to note 4 Grey Seals in the surf, plus my first Peregrine Falcon of the year as it headed south down the island.
