Marsh Harriers at Lodmore, Weymouth 02/03/2026

Post by PimperneBloke »

So, the weather was glorious on Monday, and had been forecasted for a while, so I'd made my mind up for a Weymouth trip. It was a very good day, so naturally I took a million photo's.... it turns out when 3 Marshies are cavorting about in the distance I get a bit snap happy!!

They were very distant, so even with the big lens + the teleconverter in super light the photo's aren't great... I'm blaming heat haze :D

Still, hope you enjoy the first bit of the day out

Thank you gents. I think I took about 500 just of the Marshies, so you can see how rubbish the rest were!! It was definitely spectacular to watch :)

Was a lovely day, thank you Linda. Got some better shots of stuff that wasn't so distant, but the marshies display was the highlight 😁
