Barton-on Sea again

Took my class to Barton-on-Sea recently as part of our topic on coastlines.  It is good for studying coastal erosion but not as good as say Charmouth that has the added dimension of real fossil hunting to boot.  Still it was a fine sunny day - much diffefnt than a few weeks previous when i cycled past on a grey afternoon on my way to Langton Matravers. 

The highlight of the day for me was to come across a young Adder.  I have never seen one before juvenile nor adult and when ido i shall make sure i take a better picture.  I was just in awe of the little fella and its incredible verticle slitted eye.

A very small Adder that was almost squashed but several unobservant 8 year olds.

Barton-on-Sea, on a fine day!
