We've been trying to do this walk when it's all white, but the frost usually melts by the time we get here.

Some highlights from a morning walk to Charminster and back via the frosty fields found north of Dorchester.

Went out for a little walk to Poundbury to get these shots from the vantage points on the road that runs around the back.

Thanks John. The bad news is they want to put a road through it if they get planning permission to build more houses north of Dorchester, I've still got the rest of my patch east of the roundabout and around Charminster, but that part of my patch is a quality little spot when conditions are right.

Dorchester/Charminster water meadows today with Gillian where after a wait we caught up with the two Bean Goose (new birds for us). Put up in the air with two white-fronts in front I believe. @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds #ukbirding

Enjoyed a #wildflowerhour walk in Charminster today. Saw Winter Heliotrope, Ivy-leaved Toadflax, Annual Meadow Grass, Smooth Sowthistle, Primrose and a very tired looking Lesser Celendine with just a single petal surviving Christmas.
Also caught up with the Tundra Bean & White-fronted Geese. Lovely!

Thanks again to @therockinbirder.bsky.social et al, for today's 2 White-fronted Geese who joined yesterday's 2 Bean! #DorsetBirds 🪶 🇬🇧 Probably 250+ Canada too, and several Common Gulls.
All at Dorchester water meadows on route to Charminster, exactly where a new major road is planned; Norchester 🤮
Thanks to @therockinbirder.bsky.social for the heads-up for 2 Tundra Bean Geese with the Canadas at Dorchester Water meadows (B3147) #DorsetBirds 🇬🇧 🪶.
Also, several Gadwall, Shoveler, Wigeon, Mallard. Mistle Thrush, flocks of Pied Wag & LT Tit, LtEgret.

Scanning the sky at Woodsford I picked up 9 very distant Geese which looked interesting. Took a few photos but then lost them behind distant trees. Then had a call from Brett to say that Simon had just seen 9 Tundra's at Charminster. 9 minutes and 4.5 miles apart = 30mph! 5 Barnacle here also.

Charminster definitely has potential! Start with a bakery and then get some nice coffee shops, you're onto a winner
