A visit to Portland Bill on a perfect summer's day with blue skies and plenty to photograph including the three lighthouses (photographed two of these). In 1716, two lighthouses were built and these continued to work as a pair until the 20th century. In 1901, the Corporation of Trinity House made the decision to replace the existing lighthouses, which had both been rebuilt in the 1860s, with a single one at Bill Point. The old one shown here is now a Bird Observatory. First Marbled White seen and photographed on Pyramidal Orchid and also a Grey (?) Seal. Lots of views back towards Portland itself, Prison entrance, Weymouth and Chesil Beach
