Though the vegetation had been cut back along the pathways so I didn’t get to do my ‘Jane of the Jungle’ impression, my visits to the RSPB Radipole reserve were a little disappointing during last week’s visit to Weymouth. Unlike my June visit, when I saw two dragonflies I’d never ever seen before (Lifer: Norfolk hawker and Lifer: Scarce chaser), this time I saw just one dragonfly and it didn’t stop for a photo. On the birding front, activity had also diminished, though I did enjoy watching a Sedge warbler searching for food and feeding its young, and the sounds of young birds either keeping in contact with their parents or following them through the trees and reed beds were a constant accompaniment to my walks. My best image came from one of those moments, when this juvenile Reed warbler paused momentarily right in front of me.
