Dorset Day 3 of 6 - Afternoon in Swanage

We left Studlands after lunch and traveled to Swanage. I like Swanage but was a bit disappointed the Pier was closed for renovation. Should be good when its done.

We finished off the afternoon with Fish and Chips in Harry Ramsden's  :)

Dorset Day 3 of 6 - Studland's Nature Reserve

This trip to Dorset is the forth time I have been with the Cambridge Camera Club to this area (2012, 2013, 2014 and this year). The main focus of the trips have been Nature orientated. In particular the interest in Bugs and Insects. By day three we realised that there was a distinct lack of subjects. If you look on the web there is lots of evidence to suggest this is nation wide.

Have a look at the Guardian Article .. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/jun/17/where-have-insects-gone-climate-change-population-decline

Its got to be a concern, we continued to look for 'beasties'
