Arrived at the Bird Observatory on Portland early afternoon
and started to unpack my gear and realising I had forgotten the most important
item, binoculars! What a *******!
Fortunately the Prof loaned me a pair of Leica binoculars
for me to use for the duration of my stay here. I remembered everything else
but the bins are still on my bookcase at home. I normally keep my camera and
bins in a bag together but took them out last night to clean them and did not
put them back!
It’s rather quiet today down here, sunny but a brisk cool wind.
A trickle of Swallows and the odd House Martin moving through, a walk in
the top fields produced ten Willow
Warbler, two Whitethroat and two
Redstart (♂ & ♀)
and little else, a few bits and pieces in the garden, a couple of Willow Warbler, a Chiffchaff, a Blackcap
and a re-trapped Garden Warbler that
was first caught a week ago that has presumably stayed around or is deciding to
go back until the weather warms up a bit more and a Raven seen.
The sea has been very quiet just the odd Manx Shearwater and Gannet seen.
