    Somerset Birding

    Lyme Regis Birding - or an even quieter Backwater

    Morning! I'm on my way doen to Swanage in a couple of weeks, and a Dipper is on my list to see this year. I see there seems to be one quite resident in Lyme Regis, which I will travel to if I have to, but do you know of any sites closer to Swanage where I could see a Dipper? If not, I guess...

    Treecreeper

    Taken just outside Ware in Hertfordshire. I stumbled across a nest hole, which was being frequented by a pair of treecreepers. Think I sat there for an hour watching them zipping in and out bringing beak fulls of bugs to their little uns.

    Thanks everyone. Not sure about the seed head. It was shot in Grassland, just above a beach, but it looks strangely like the seed head's you get if you let a parsnip go to seed. Not sure if you get wild parsnips, but if you do I'd love to try them!!
