Summer birds

The strange unseasonal weather often fools birds into thinking that certain times are upon them.The Black tailed Godwit (Limosa limosa) is in its summer plumage but in its winter retreat of the Brownsea island lagoon in Poole harbour .There were several of them along with Spotted redshank, Shellduck and nesting common terns and black headed gulls.

Yellowhammers (Emberiza citrinella) are birds of natural grassland,meadow land and arable farmland . The male has a yellow head and typical bunting like. He perches on low bushes to sing his `little bit of bread and no cheese’ song.

The heathland sand lizard male has faded from his bright green into dirty yellow as summer starts to wain.He will turn brown before hibernation in October time.
