A change of scenery today and a trip to Portland Bill to see what was about.
The Black Redstart was still in the hut fields, but having seen it briefly, I failed to find it again.
There were no Purple Sandpipers about, but instead a lone Oystercatcher and a Rock Pipit on the rocks between the Obelisk and Pulpit.
A Little Owl was keeping watch from the entrance of its nest site in the quarry.
