Nice Birds In Weymouth

[rowanwitch]

we are just back from a short break in Weymouth two reserves Radipole lake and Lodmoor... highlights Marsh Harrier, Avocet and the resident Hooded Merganser (it arrived 4 years ago and has fallen in with a gang of male tufted so joins in the feeding frenzy when you get a bag of corn from the visitor centre....

Hi, rowanwitch, I'm glad you had a good time in Weymouth (I haven't been for years 'cos my mother-in-law lives there!!). I like your new avatar, by the way - very cute. K

Thanks for that Rowan, we're going to Weymouth in May and it could be an interesting day out for the kids.

PS. What is all that gobble-de-gook at the bottom of your post?

Jem.

Rowan, just want to say hello to you and Redman. xx

Hi Rowan...glad you had a good time and a Marsh Harrier!
Tilly and I are trotting off to Rutland to see the Ospreys...probably when the chicks hatch and I can walk. I have offered to pick Tilly up at Kettering station so if you and Redman fancy a trip down that would be lovely. Think Dave may try to make it too....he's still getting over the birds he saw in Portugal...x
