Kimmeridge
In the middle of February I took a visit to Kimmeridge Bay on the Dorset Jurassic coast, taking along the E620 digital camera again. I used both digital lenses that I own, the Olympus 14-42mm F3.5 lens & Olympus 70-300mm F4 lens. Pretty much immediately came across this pipit on the shore line at the bottom of the steps from the car park. I think it is a water pipit but not 100% certain, as it could also be a rock pipit.
The pipit kindly made it’s way through the stones towards me.

I walked along the shore line around the bay, heading away from the folly, Clavell Tower, towardsHobarrow Bay. For all the following landscape shots (except the sun set) I took 3 bracheted shots with the Olympus 14-42mm F3.5 lens, then HDR fused in Photomatix Pro 4.1.4 and lifted the detail out with Topaz Detail.

You will find steps leading back up the cliffs once you have scrambled around the rocks onto a more level rock face at the point. At the top of the steps if you turn left you can walk to get a very good view of the cliffs and Hobarrow Bay.
I took this shot looking back across the fields towards Kimmeridge bay.

Love the Harrowbay images, you’ve really brought out the strata detail.
Many thanks for your kind comment Chris.
