15th March
With the notable exception of perhaps the most showy Red
Kite ever to visit Portland, that spent more than an hour roaming around the
Bill before heading off to the north, today's tally of new arrivals was
particularly meagre. The handful of other migrants at the Bill included little
more than 7 Wheatears, 5 Fieldfares, 2 Chiffchaffs and a Redwing, with 4
Red-throated Divers and a Black-throated Diver all that could be mustered from
the sea. Elsewhere the Iceland Gull remained at Ferrybridge.
