Lodmoor RSPB - Thu 17 May

Another family jaunt today as we headed down to the coast and a walk around the RSPB reserve at Lodmoor in Weymouth. Unfortunately the weather was anything but fine, with a steady drizzle coming in off the sea as we were halfway through our walk. Despite the weather we still saw a few birds with three Bar-tailed Godwits and four Dunlin seen, and a single Black-tailed Godwit flew over. The tern islands were buzzing with Common Terns and a single Arctic Tern was also present, but we missed the Roseate Tern that had been seen earlier in the day. The rest of our walk failed to produce anything out of the ordinary and by the time we got back to the car we were pretty wet and ready to go home for a nice cup of tea!
