RADIPOLE LAKES RSPB

THERE'S plenty of wildlife to enjoy at Radipole, which is centrally located in Weymouth and make a great day out at this time of year.

You should be able to spot up to eight species of wildfowl and if you have binoculars or a telescope you might even be able to spot their colourful and often iridescent feathers.

The shorter days and lower water levels means you should look out for tracks that tells you the otter has been about.

As it starts to get dark you might be able to see some herons and little egrets gathering and it's also worth keeping an eye out for brown bittern flying low over the reeds.
