    Spent three freezing hours walking round Durlston Country Park. There were hundreds of Fieldfares but I couldn't get within 50 yards of them so no decent pics.

    Not sure what this is, sort of Eryngium or something, loved the symetry.

    Loads of Jackdaws on the cliffs.

    Fulmar (Petrel).

    The disappointing bird tally was made up by seeing a small pod of 5 Bottle Nosed Dolphins some way out.

    The view towards Old Harry Rocks.

    The wind whipped up a bit later.

      Lovely pictures Strongy. :dbgrtmb: We've got a lot of Jackdaws, they are pretty much garden birds here.

      Wouldn't be suprised if that was a Carline Thistle.
