Fourth Time Lucky

A pleasantly sunny day with little in the way of wind and remaining mild for the time of year. Unfortunately, the only thing to mar this were a few chores, bank, shopping etc, in Weymouth but on the up-side a chance to visit a few friends with a little Christmas cheer. However, on the way there was yet another chance to see the

 c2 COMMON CRANE

 that remain in the County close to the village of Chesilbourne.

 This was my 4th visit to the site, the other 3 all drawing a 'blank'

and while today's views were far from ideal at least they were seen!

A slightly better impression to give the reader a better idea of
what this elegant bird looks like, a single
COMMON CRANE
on The Fleet at Langton Herring in 2011.
With no hurry to my visit a little time was spent in the area producing

 COMMON BUZZARD

 GREY WAGTAIL

 lots of ROOK and Carrion Crow,

 KESTREL

 a very lucky
RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE

 another shot at ROOK

 SKYLARK

 STONECHAT

and YELLOWHAMMER
The rest of my day was as described above so little use for the camera.

 What is still known as the 'New' Weymouth Relief Road

 VICTORIAN SHELTER
Weymouth Sea Front

and WEYMOUTH SANDS and ESPLANADE
looking a little forlorn now the holiday makers are gone.
