One of our friendlier birds and a companion on a beechcombing wander at the weekend, this little Robin tried its hardest to look good!
Posing for a photo when the wind is blowing is not easy though!
The Isle of Purbeck is a peninsula on the southern tip of the the county of Dorset in England. The photographs I take, hopefully, help to express how I feel about this magical place and show you things which you may see if you come to visit. I am a full time, professional photographer and have a gallery in Swanage. Please feel free to click on the picture to see it larger or to look at my other photographs. www.purbeckfootprints.co.uk

Wind Blown
From Bill To The Anvil

Rest in peace, Tony

Little Legs
I have bumped in to this chap and his mum several times over the last few weeks but have not managed to take a shot. I was quite lucky this time and managed to get quite close.
Quiet but never silent.
I missed the Sun this morning, not because I was late but because the early wander was done and dusted by the time the clouds cleared. When...
