No cetaceans on our Sea Watch survey at Portland Bill today although we did spot a grey seal and a good variety of sea birds including a puffin. The next watch will take place on 10 July at 9am ~ Sarah Dorset Wildlife Trust dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/events/2024-07…

It has been fairly quiet on the bird front around the Wild Chesil Centre recently, but I did find a few cinnabar moth caterpillars, burnet moths and a marbled white butterfly whilst walking along Hamm Beach earlier. ~ Abi

We were really lucky to see these two boxing hares from the Fleet Explorer the other day! The boat trips run regularly during the season and are one of the best ways to explore the nature reserve. For more info, call the Wild Chesil Centre on 01305206191 ~ Abi 📷 Angela Thomas
