It won't take a minute and will make a difference.
Now the sun is lower and the days are getting shorter and suppose to be getting colder but hey there is so much I am looking forward to this month, instead of watching Motocross this year Liam and I are going to Arne again to try harder than ever to get some good photo's and hopefully of a deer rut, I also want to see an Avocet or few.
At the moment photography especially of birds is challenging but in a few weeks when the leafs have fallen it should be better and all the incoming winter species should be here, now I am not a twitcher but I do prefer to take photo's of wildlife and especially birds because I find it a peaceful and challenging pastime, I am learning my species slowly and Liam knows a few already so as a family outing I highly recommend places like Arne, Radipole or Lodmoor as they are free from hassle, fumes and so relaxing but most of all in this time of cutbacks they are relatively cheap ...parking and fuel and possibly a hot chocolate ;-) my only expense ..go on give it a go and if you become a member of the RSPB you can have free parking in many reserves.
Get the kids away from the consoles and get some fresh air in their lungs while they learn about the wonders of nature.

| Lodmoor on a warm September evening. |
Oh it's a snake Dad.. Now this comes from Liam and I searching around Weymouth for wildlife and photography and near Weymouth tip by Lodmoor there is a wasteland and a few bits of wood are on the grass across the area so Liam and I lift them up to hopefully capture some snake action but most of the time its nothing or a slow worm. Now on this day 2 weeks ago we were just walking through to get to Lodmoor and Liam stopped and stated that there was something moving in the grass and said it was a snake its going under the bush, of course I said no way and looked over only to see the last 2 feet of this snake slither into the undergrowth, we were both elated to see it but the funny thing was after this we were a bit more tentative moving the wooden boards hehe, nervous ? us ?
