Despite the miserable weather again, I decided that enough was enough and took Ted and Theo for a walk along the esplanade, between Portland Castle and the marina.
Highlights out in the harbour were a Black-throated Diver, 3 Great Northern Divers and 12 Red-breasted Mergansers.
Other birds of note were an Oystercatcher on the outflow pipe and a fly-by Black Redstart which was heading towards the castle.
