Portland Bird Observatory, Hut Fields, Portland Bill and Obs Quarry

And yet another trip down to the Bill, though it was a bit disappointing this time with the only highlights being a Turnstone on one of the ledges by the Red Crane, two Chiffchaffs, one in the Obs garden and the other in the Hut Fields, and a Redwing calling just east of the Obs.
