Dorset Daze





Some of the more striking sightings on the Dorset field course included real Red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) and a meeting with a bogus badger (to advertise 'Autumn Watch' coming soon to Brownsea). Also saw 'underground mutton' (Oryctolagus cuniculus) coming in to feed at Weymouth Sealife Park. Also lots of late Red admiral (Vanessa atalanta) and Comma (Polygonia c-album) butterflies basking in the maze at Abbotsbury.
