Wednesday 30th November 2011 Ham / Worth Marshes

At last a chance to walk around the marshes, on this lovely sunny morning, there were a few bumbles still on the wing which led me to think there may be a few dragons hanging on. Sure enough it wasn't long before I spotted a flyer, on the river, but it didn't stop, after seeing about 6  I eventually found a Common Darter resting on a gate sunbathing. This is my latest sighting of a dragonfly in the U.K. just how much longer they are going to hang on is anybodies guess. If we get any frost that must be the end, but you never know.

Wednesday 16th November 2011 Dumpton Gap

There is a Porpoise of some description washed up on the beach directly below King George VI Park at the Dumpton Gap end. Thought this might be of interest to someone. I have images and can forward them on if it's of interest? (Carl Radford)
