An unusual sight was seen floating in the sky as the weather turned 'fowl' above Portland.
This stunning picture taken by Martin Adlam shows a cloud formation which looks uncannily like a duck's head.
He snapped the interesting photo looking out to sea from the isle on Tuesday afternoon.
Martin, a keen photographer from Portland said: "It looked amazing and lasted just for a few minutes. It is certainly duck like.
"This unusual shaped cloud was just one of the many Cumulonimbus clouds over the sea to the east of Portland. It was certainly different."
And it's not the first time this year that an unusual cloud formation has been spotted in Dorset.
In June, Jim Perkins snapped a picture of jellyfish clouds over Portland - a rare phenomenon so-called because of their resemblance to the creatures.
In September, several readers sent in pictures of a 'Fire Rainbow' formation which was spotted above Weymouth.
