Only possible on a paddle vessel. This one is a steamer, the Waverley out of Glasgow.

Photo of the rear of the paddle steamer Waverley. It shows the two streams of churned up water with a clear channel between. Under steam going to Lulworth out of Weymouth harbour. September 1st.

This is indeed a big bee. Not sure about it being discovered in 1958.... Wallace hasn't been with the living for about 40 years.....

Emperor Dragonfly sitting on my hand. It had flown into the corridor by the Cafe. It was released unharmed. The Emperor is primarily green with blue eyes. It is the length of my forefinger.

This set goes a little way to illustrate the amazing ability of terns, in this case Common. Taken at RSPB's Lodmoor yesterday. A small but vibrant colony. @rspbengland.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social
