Blue pool nature reserve, Dorset


there was lots of gorse 

sika deer peeping through the woodland clearing 



we came across a pool in the middle of the woods 

here we found water skaters mateing, water beetles and palmate newts 




 


 














afterwards we went into the gift shop then had an ice cream and it was time to go 

I didn’t see any dartford warblers or Sand lizards but I did see a deer and some newts
