	Radipole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Radipole is a part of the district of Weymouth and Portland in the county of Dorset, England.
		Radipole stands at the head of, and is named after, the lake, now an RSPB nature reserve, into which the River Wey flows, and which leads into Weymouth Harbour.
		The parish of Radipole predates by centuries the borough of Melcombe Regis, which grew up on its wastes on an exposed spit of shingle by the sea in the 12th century.

		I am fortunate to live close to the Weymouth RSPB reserves at Radipole and Lodmoor, the Isle of Portland and the Fleet.
		The main attraction has to be the headlands of the Isle`s of Portland Purbeck, not just for ease of observing the numerous sea birds that pass by, but for the impressive variety of scarce and uncommon migrants found along these peninsulas.

		For safer wildfowl watching try either Rye House Marsh RSPB reserve very close to a railway station or in my neck of the woods Stockers Lake which would be in walking distance of Rickmansworth tube station.
		Often in December Stockers Lake can provide views of Smew and Goosander among the more commonwaterfowl but it depends on the weather on the continent and whether numbers have moved out to find somewhere less frozen.
		In the town itself, Radipole Lake has good birding for gulls and waterfowl with resident Bearded Tit and Cetti's Warbler.

	Birdwatching Trip Report from Devon, England, UK
		Cetti's Warbler: Radipole Lake RSPB reserve in Weymouth, Dorset, is one of the easier places to see this species, I have, in the past, seen them from the Swannery car park on the immediate edge of the footpath through the reserve.
		As always with skulking species, spring is probably the best time to locate them as they call loudly from the reeds and scrub.
		Dartford Warbler: In Dorset, Arne RSPB, has Dartford Warbler, this reserve is well worth visiting at any time of the year, and holds a fine range of heathland species.

		There are also many people who are not obsessive with their hobby, for example the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) has over 1 million members and many important reserves aiding the conservation of scarce British species.
		It takes in a variety of habitats such as freshwater and salt marshlands, wetlands, lakes, gravel pits, country estate gardens, both ancient deciduous and coniferous woodlands, sand dunes and beaches, estuaries, harbours, heathland and farmland.
		London is one of the most developed cities in the world yet in the parkland and lakes surrounding the capital there are some of the best opportunities to seek out some very local species in the UK with good sites for Ring-necked Parakeet, Mandarin Duck, Dartford Warbler and Lesser-spotted Woodpecker.
