Radipole Lake...

I’d parked up last night next to Radipole Lake, on the outskirts of Weymouth: an RSPB bird reserve. I took a stroll around the lake this morning: a pleasant way to start the day, though there weren’t many birds about. One surprise was hearing the explosive song of a Cetti’s Warbler: another warbler which doesn’t migrate to warmer climes for the winter. I’ve seen them - or, more usually, heard them - at quite a few places in the southern counties, where populations are increasing, since my first sighting at Minsmere in spring…

Strange to go to the trouble of making a street sign, without also thinking up a street name...
