Lulworth Cove is a cove near the village of West Lulworth, on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, southern England. The cove is one of the world's finest examples of such a landform and is a World Heritage Site and tourist location with approximately 500,000 visitors every year, of whom about 30 percent visit in July and August. It is close to the rock arch of Durdle Door and other Jurassic Coast sites.
Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) I was stalking a little egret along the bank of our local reservoir when this heron suddenly burst out from the cover of the reeds in front of me. I just managed to get the camera on him but I don't know who was more surprised!
Almost a year ago in a different world, the very windy cliffs near Swanage on the way to Old Harry Rocks, I hope everyone is healthy and ready for yet another week under lockdown.

Have recently visited Dorset for a few days and this is the first image of that trip I will post. Hopefully I will catch up with everyone in the next few days and thanks for all the comments and visits that were posted whilst I was away.
Best wishes

I'm not sure I made the best of this beautiful field in Dorset as I was in a rush to get to another location.
Taken late in the day shortly before sunset.
One from my last trip down to the Dorset Coast. Whilst Durdle Door (which is right behind me when I took this), gets all the attention, this Man O War Cove is beautiful in its own right! The light was really nice as I made my way down here for a sunset shoot and I just couldn't resist a shot of this bay before my camera started taking in the famous arch of Durdle next door!
Cant wait to get back down here once the situation improves.
** These cliffs are found in Dorset in southern England. The shot was taken looking West from Durdle Door on the Jurassic coast . The headland you can see in the distance is Bats head
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO

Swanage is a costal town in the south east of Dorset, originally a small port and fishing village, flourished in the Victorian era, when it first became a significant quarrying port and later a seaside resort for the rich of the day. Today the town remains a popular tourist resort, this being the town's primary industry, with many thousands of visitors coming to the town during the peak summer season, drawn by the bay's sandy beaches and other attractions. During its history the bay was listed variously as Swanawic, Swanwich and Sandwich and only in more recent history as Swanage.The town is located at the eastern end of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site. The town contains many listed buildings and two conservation areas – Swanage Conservation Area and Herston Conservation Area
I have wrote a blog about my visit to the Dorset Coastline exploring the nature and history here. This image was taken on one of my walks along Hengistbury Head. The lake is an old quarry which was filled after mining ceased in the 1800's. It has now flourished and restored some of the wildlife and nature there along with protecting the headland from further erosion.
For this photo, I used the edting suite Affinity. You can read my blog by going to :www.whatsheseeks.com or clicking on the link in the comments below. I hope you enjoy some of my photos from my visit.
I have had some great experiences with the Dorset Otters over the last few weeks, these are a few of my favourite images.

This is another collection of images which have been photographed over a long period of time. These are photographs taken mostly on holidays throughout our great Counties . In the day we have travelled the length and breadth of Great Britain, with many coastal and country walks and a lot of photography. This is the second of many postings. Please enjoy.
