Portland Castle
Monday March 19th 2018
Heavy snow overnight has come at just the wrong time for the thousands of meadow pipits that are migrating north through Dorset at the moment. Ground-feeding birds are hit particularly hard in this weather with all their food hidden under the snow. This group of pipits were lucky enough to find a snow-free area in the grounds of Portland Castle.
Rock pipits were in less of a problem as they always feed on the shoreline, which is nearly always ice-free even in the worst conditions. This one was filmed a year or so ago in Weymouth.
