One day last week misty conditions in the early morning dropped this wheatear into the reserve.
We don't often see wheatears in the middle of Weymouth and one that is prepared to sit still and let itself be filmed is a rarity anywhere.
Even wetter conditions dawned today with the first bout of wet and windy weather of the autumn.
I have to admit I was hoping for something a bit better than these Canada geese but they do look quite graceful if you slow them down.
