Visit to Lodmore RSPB : 25th June 2011
Just a short drive away along the A353 is the Lodmore RSPB reserve. We hadn’t been there before but a couple of people we met at Radipole Lake told us that it is often more productive than Radipole so we decided to go there. There is parking attached to Sea World which adjoins the site but we drove around to the other end of the site on Southdown Avenue which is a residential area with lots of free parking spaces. We parked just by the path that leads through the centre of the site then turned right at the end and walked all the way around to our starting point so we must have covered about three quarters of the site – perhaps a 2k walk. The weather was very hot which made it seem longer but it was well worth visiting for the colony of Common Terns.
