Northern Wheatear, disused quarry – Langton Matravers
Highlights from a walk along the Jurassic Coast close to Langton Matravers back in September (seems a long time ago).
The many disused quarries are a real magnet for migrating birds with Wheatears finding them especially attractive.
Sitting pretty !
Not to be outdone a resident Dunnock at the quarry entrance

The coastal quarries also contain several colonies of Wall Lizards. With their inquisitive nature they’re always entertaining to watch.
A darker male Wall Lizard on the quarry face.
Plenty of quarry faces and cliffs available for the Wall Lizards to do what they do best.
A tiny, immature Wall Lizard hiding amongst the stone on the quarry floor.
Another male Wall Lizard sunbathing
A superb walk that never disappoints.
