After a tip-off, an early morning wander was called for. Several Kingfishers flew back and forth in front of me, but the Sun flaring off of the water made life a little difficult. I quite like this one though.

Also enjoying the beautiful, sunny morning was this young lady. She brought her youngster with her for a drink and wasn't too happy that we shared the water. There are plenty of Sika deer around here, but they are always a pleasure to see.

Gulls are a real favourite of mine, I can spend hours watching them. These Black Headed Gulls seemed more interested in the waves than anything else.

A male and female Roe deer enjoying the evening Sun. I'm not sure why, but I focused on the female at the back instead of the male! Still, always a pleasure to see.

One of my favourite views. Looking across Durlston Bay, past the lookout at Peveril Point and further to the chalk Pinnacles and Old Harry, with Bournemouth in the distance.

Holiday traffic is always a pain, so why not buy a boat? These, lucky chaps and chapesses were off for a day of rest and relaxation in one of the secluded bays along the coast.. I have looked up the word 'secluded' in the dictionary and I'm not sure it means what they they think it means....

I really like seeing Herring Gulls, but then I am not a Herring!. This was taken on the cliffs at Durlston
