It was a lovely sunny afternoon, and pretty mild as well. Unfortunately the only real bird highlights were off Portland's east coast, where there many small flocks of Razorbill and Guillemots heading up the coast. Along with them were Herring Gulls, Great Black-backed Gulls and a few Gannets.
Here are a few images from today:
At the cove there were a few Wrens on the beach plus this Rock Pipit and another one close by.
Once the morning cloud drifted away, it was a very pleasant day.
And even Ted appreciated the dry weather.
