Overlooking Swanage From Ballard Down

Sunday 30th October 2016

We had a short walk this afternoon for a quick bit of fresh air from Ulwell to Ballard Down and back.  It's gently uphilll but well worth it for the views of Swanage on the way up and at the top the views across Studland and Godlingstone Heath.

A friendly local.

The bright berries of the Stinking Iris.

This kestrel sat keeping watch happily until a bird scarer went off like gunshot in a nearby field, then it was gone (it did quite a good job of scaring me too!)

The view overlooking Swanage from a favourite seat.

A buzzard - rather a long way off!

Reaching the top we walked along as far as the obelisk then took the steep path back down to the car parked at Ulwell.
