A welcome diversion to
Durlston on the way home from work provided an excuse to look for butterflies - it was a bit late in the da

Lulworth Skip
pers - still a bit early for their peak - but some had been seen by the Dorset Countryside rangers earlier. On the way home, this feisty Common Tern landed on the bows of the Sandbanks Ferry.
