Portland

Went with Matt to the (very as it turned out) small 'fair' held at the Heights Hotel to help sell some Sound Approach books.
It was a bit slow so he let me get off early and I was able to have a look around the north end of the island for a change.
Not too much around although it was quiet everywhere apparently
Did run into a Fox with her cubs, although they decided to go off and play so only got one half decent shot. The mother however remained resolutely on guard duty although it did look half asleep



Sparrowhawk with victim


The lure of the Bill was soon too much so had a wander around the Top fields
A Curlew heading north was the only oddity so had to settle for a few shots of the local birds
