           <description><![CDATA[
  The hedgerows around Weymouth Wetlands’ Radipole Lake reserve are abundant and colourful now as we move into early summer and this is the time when our orchids start to appear. So far, we’ve
  counted three Southern Marsh Orchids in the early stages of flowering on the Buddleia Loop and hopefully many more are on their way. We’ve also spotted a wonderful Bee Orchid by the path up to the
  North Hide. These are an opportunist plant and can turn up in unexpected places.

  We have our own selection of live nest cams in the visitor centre at Arne. The stars of the show at the moment are the kestrel chicks, which have grown up really fast. It won’t be long before they
  will be thinking of leaving the safety of their box. Even the smallest of the four is doing really well and again this year, it looks pretty hopeful for all of them, which is very exciting. So come
  on down to Arne in the next few days for your last chance to see them on the big screen or go and watch them live on the web at http://www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/a/arne/webcam.aspx Based on
  information supplied by Sara Cookson.

  viewing facilities.

           <description><![CDATA[
  Last weekend at Arne we held a series of reptile ‘show and tells’ when we introduced visitors to some of the reserve's incredible snakes and lizards. Male sand lizards have been basking on the
  sandy heathland paths – this is Britain’s second rarest reptile. Our rarest reptile, the smooth snake, has also been spotted out and about. Although there are plenty of smooth snakes on the
  reserve, they are very elusive and rarely seen out in the open but a couple of days ago, a visitor managed to take a great picture of one, slithering across the path on Coombe Heath. You can
  clearly see the understated black marks along its back and it lacks the distinctive diamond pattern of the adder.
