Leaving a gift in your will is a wonderful way of securing independence for a disabled person. Your gift will help us to train more dogs to help local disabled people live a more independent life.

Autumn on the Heaths
22
Although the arrival of autumn signals the end of the breeding season for much of the heathland wildlife, it is arguably the most beautiful time to visit, with some of the special heath flowers just coming into their prime and plenty of fauna still to see. The scarce marsh gentian, with its trumpet-shaped clusters of bright blue flowers, can be seen in bloom all the way through September. Look for it in the wet parts of the heath. The widespread common heather, or ling, and the more showy bell heather, with its bell-like flowers, colour the heathland purple and pink in August and September in the dry areas. Their close relative the cross-leaved heath, with its flowers showing a more delicate pink, thrives in the wet heathland. A valuable plant for wildlife, providing thorny cover for birds and nectar for insects, the hardy yellow gorse flowers throughout the year in some areas. All of these thrive on heathland because they tolerate the acid, nutrient poor soil. Autumn is primetime for bird watchers, as thousands of migrant birds fly through Dorset, heading south for winter. Look out for osprey, a spectacular fish-eating bird of prey, which refuels in Poole Harbour Photo: Nigel Brooks DWT on its way back to West Africa. Of the birds that breed on our heaths, you might still catch sight of a hobby, a spectacular small falcon which catches dragonflies, as it breeds later in the season, while the rare Dartford warbler stays with us all year round. Restricted to southern heathland, it does not migrate but survives the winter feeding on invertebrates in the thick growth of heather and gorse. Thanks to the relatively mild climate in east Dorset, Dartford warblers seem to have survived last year’s hard winter better here than anywhere else, making the Dorset heaths even more vitally important for them. Dorset heaths, including Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Upton Heath, are also home to all six British reptiles, and they can still be seen basking in the September sun before going into hibernation. For what to look out for this month, see www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/things-to-do.html. Niina Silvennoinen

A funny old year It’s been a funny old year for gardeners. Such a cold, dry winter, then a lovely spring and early summer, soon changing to rain and followed by a prolonged dry spell. Plants don’t seem to have grown as much as usual (particularly for those gardeners on water meters!) and flowers have come early and gone over quickly. There are still plenty of autumn flowering plants to come though, particularly the Asteraceae family. Several years ago I happened to be in the Malverns in late September and visited the Picton Garden which is breathtaking - a mass of pink, blue and mauve hues (it has the national collection of Asters). As a consequence I now have over a dozen different asters myself. Paul Picton will be coming to talk to the Hardy Plant Society next April so I may get a few more! I haven’t counted, but I’ll bet that Dorset has more gardens opening under the National Gardens Scheme than any other county. Some real beauties, ranging in size from several acres to perfect pocket handkerchiefs. Fewer in September admittedly, but Edmondsham House opens its garden every Wednesday and Sunday until the end of October and is a delight to visit. Barbara Gooch.

Know your ‘ABC’ clients
01202 870196
charliehaddon@actioncoach.com Q How do I get more referrals in my business? A The first step is to turn your customers into ‘Raving Fans’. Nobody is going to refer you if your service is just satisfactory. Think about what you can do that will make their experience with you memorable - maybe a card on their birthday, or perhaps just the fact that your staff are so friendly and helpful that they make the buying process a pleasure. The next step is finding out who your loyal customers are, so make sure you have a good record-keeping system for your customers’ contact details and then categorise them. We recommend the ABC system - Awesome, Basic, Can’t deal with! Then spend more time with the As and Bs than you do with the Cs (and maybe get rid of the Cs?) If you are not really sure who your ABC clients are, find out by asking them, either using 1. Customer surveys - write to them, ask them some questions and then rate the responses; or: 2. Testimonials - ask them to write you a testimonial and find out what they really think of you. F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F F Now you know who your F F raving fans are, keep in F contact with them on a F F regular basis - for example, F by sending out a newsletter, F F giving details of special F F A local offers or new products.

Walk details:Go through a small exit at the opposite end of the car park, turn right along the track and follow the signs for Houns Tout. After about 1/3 mile you will go over a stile and into a field which will lead you to Houns Tout. On the right will be the ‘Encombe Bowl’, in which is Encombe House and lake. Beyond the bowl you will see Swyre Head, the highest point on the Isle of Purbeck. At Houns Tout, you will have great views to both sides with Chapman’s Pool to your left. At this point you can return to Kingston on the same path, or you can descend the steep steps into Chapman’s Pool, turn left and follow the tarmac road back to Kingston if you wish. © Jurassic Jaunts AP 2010 The ONLY Total Jurassic Experience Specialists - Guided walks, free information and advice plus Holiday planning services: www.jurassicjaunts.co.uk or info@jurassicjaunts.co.uk To advertise ring Chris Peters at The Advertising Hub on 01202 829847

Night Photography
Main Cover photo and photos on this page: Roger Allen
Many night photos are not taken at night because it is too dark! The big exception is fireworks. Floodlit buildings and cityscapes are best photographed at dusk when there is still light in the sky. This allows details in buildings otherwise you will get large areas of black and pinpoints of light. This also applies to steam engines and fairground rides. Exposures will be long so a good support is needed. This can be a tripod or a suitable fixed surface on which to rest the camera. Placing a soft object under the camera will prevent scratches to equipment. Underexposure will also be needed using that ‘±’ button described in the Sunset article. Using -1 or -2 will prevent the camera automatically overexposing; -2 is more likely to be the best setting. Fireworks only happen when darkness has fallen. Some cameras have a firework setting. If not find the time exposure setting – a good time to re-read the user guide for the camera! The standard technique is to fix the camera on a support, point the lens towards the sky where the fireworks will be exploding and open the shutter before the action takes place. Let some of the display happen, then close the shutter. Review your results. If there is over or under exposure, alter the ± setting and have another go. You should get some decent images by the time the display is over and once you know the settings, make a note for the next display. A variation on fairground rides is to use long exposures while the ride is in action. This will result in a blur of colour which can be very effective giving a sense of movement.
