Arrived Portland early afternoon to a overcast and rather windblown
bill area, the Short-toed Lark I was hoping to see today was taken last evening
by a ♂ Merlin and
was the only scarcity around so not a good start. However let’s be optimistic
about this as we are here all week so something good is sure to turn up (fingers crossed).
A couple of hours birding around the bill area produced a
few Raven, a couple of Kestrel, a ♀ Sparrowhawk,
a ♀ Merlin, Little Owl, 3 Stonechat,
a Wheatear and 2 Chiffchaff (I missed a Woodlark by 30 mins).
The sea was very quiet birdwise but rather choppy!
