Abbottsbury Kestrel

Saw this beauty in the distance on a coast walk between West Bay, Bridport and Abbottsbury in Dorset. The closer I got the further away she flew. Then, just as I neared the end of my walk, she flew right over, stopped and posed for me. I couldn't have asked for more. As she flew off after a few minutes, and with a huge smile on my face, I thanked her for the great photo opportunity. Made my day.

Canada Geese at Dogmersfield Park

Spent a lovely Sunday morning walk along the Basingstoke Canal and through The Dogmersfield Park Estate to Tundry Pond. Perfect timing for the arrival of three seperate squadrons of Canada Geese flying in.

 A wonderful experience which made the walk a memorable experience. The Canal was quiet and tranquil, spoilt only by the odd cyclist, jogger or stalking photographer.

Altogether, a beautiful morning. Looking forward to more trips along The Basingstoke Canal.
