Portland Castle Beach and Portland Marina

After a shopping trip, Ted and I had a walk along the esplanade from Portland Castle Beach to Portland Marina, and then back.

Highlight on our walk was a Little Grebe fishing in Portland Marina.

Birds Recorded:
1 Little Grebe
Cormorant
Shag
Red-breasted Merganser
Herring Gull
Great Black-backed Gull
8 Pied Wagtail

This Little Grebe was fishing in Portland Marina.

Time after time it dived down for a fish.........

............and was quite successful.

A very clean looking Herring Gull.

This male Pied Wagtail followed me and Ted along the esplanade, whilst several others flew overhead to a possible roost close-by
