Amazing Arne

[monkey]

One of the places I love going to most is Arne in Dorset. It has the most stunning scenery as well as some of the best photography opportunities for wildlife. It is so diverse as you will see by the photos below



It is opposite Poole with some amazing marsh land for birds but also the Sika Deer





The autumn colours of the mixed types of woodland add to the stunning scenery



It seems amazing to see the deer on the beach with a town behind!



Even the Brittany ferries are passing close by








But you walk round the corner of the headland and the views are totally different with beautiful coloured scenery all around


I have never failed to come home thrilled with the photos I have taken from a day at Arne so if ever your in that area I would thoroughly recommend it

Hi Linda - great to see your photos of Arne, they bring back memories.....
My Mum's got a houseboat (the falling-to-bits looking one) across from there and I've seen deer slots on the beach but never been lucky enough to see the deer.

Hello Linda,your photo's are a delight!
I've never been to Dorset but after seeing Autumnwatch and now your pics it's definitely on the list of places to visit!
All that beauty and wildlife so near to such a busy ferryport certainly is amazing!

Get there before 9 am to see the deer; saw my first Spoonbill there too, and the Dartford Warblers in the Gorse were fantastic!

Lovely shots Linda, we have visited the area many times, so how have we missed all this? Thank you for highlighting this special place

Hi Linda

I completely agree with you, Arne is really beautiful and Poole Harbour is stunning. I'm lucky enough to live in the Borough of Poole and so these places aren't too far away from me. I'm having a bit of a love affair with Poole Harbour at the moment and I really want to get out on it but weather and work don't permit it.

Jon and I went over to the beach at Arne in a little boat one day at the very beginning of the summer and there was a stag just off the beach feeding on something and he was completely unconcerned about people or whatever around him. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera on me because he certainly didn't mind having his photo taken - probably knew how magnificent he looked.

Love the pictures Linda We found Arne in September while on holiday in the area and were surprised to see Deer by the sea and a Spoonbill from the Hide. Magical place will definatly go back

I have been once and vividly remember seeing my first four-spotted chaser there!
