Dorset - Powerstock Common (01/06/2023)

Traditionally Powerstock Common is always the first venue that we visit on our annual trips to Dorset. As always, it did not disappoint with Tiger beetles, an Adder, Orchids, including Butterfly Orchid, Butterflies including Marsh Fritillary and Grizzled Skipper, spiders and the colours and wildlife of the ponds

Dorset - West Bay People and Birds (30/05/2023)

The strong late afternoon sun at West Bay last week created some great silhouettes and side lighting for the people and birds. 

 

Garden Project 16 - Variety!!

After a week away, even though there has been no rain, the garden is a riot of colours - all of it self seeded now or original plants probably purchased back in the late 60s when I moved to Toft (my only house removal within Toft included many plants as cuttings, seeds etc). Quite a few days work to reestablish paths etc and record all the new invertebrate inhabitants!
