Ibsley Meadows visitors

Bewick swan - flies in to the meadows as a winter visitor from Siberia around Christmas and leaves in February/March to return to breed there.

Black swan from Australia - flies into the meadows in the spring ....

Only kidding - it's really an escapee from an ornamental lake at some time and now lives and breeds in the Avon Valley.

Weymouth beach on a very cold, windy day in March - see that surf coming in! And no, that is not GOM - he wouldn't even stand on the Promenade with me!

Tankers seeking a safe haven in the bay over the weekend - see www.ais.com for what the tankers get up to! These were bound for Portland and Torbay.

Harry Hill's TV Burp has a lot to answer for with its "K Factor" competition- bits of wool in your mouth with these!
