Penns Wood, St Andrew's Church, Church Ope Cove, Penn's Weare, Penn's Copse, Rufus Castle and Portland Museum

Unfortunately it was a late afternoon walk, so I wasn't expecting to see much. How wrong I was with the following highlights noted:
Rock Pipit - Just one bird on the beach which just happened to be the leg ringed individual "AAL"
Blackcap - A male singing (sub-song) in Penns Wood.
Chiffchaff - Two at the back of the cove.
Goldcrest - And with the Chiffchaffs were two Goldcrests.
