With Storm Isha fast approaching, it was a trip to The Bill to see if anything was passing close-in. There certainly was, with 100+ Gannets heading south along Portland's east coast and then out into the English Channel, with other birds of note being 30+ Cormorants, 5 Shags, a lone Mediterranean Gull and 30+ Guillemots. Oddly enough there were no Razorbills seen!!
Birds Recorded:
100+ Gannet
