9th January

Not a great deal of coverage today in blustery, cool northwesterlies and the only reports were of long- or short-term lingerers: the Grey Phalarope at Chesil Cove, the Black-throated Diver and Red-necked Grebe in Portland Harbour, 50 Common Scoter off the Bill and the Cetti's Warbler and 8 Purple Sandpipers at the Bill.

A great day out yesterday despite the weather with @BirderOtbt & @Purbeckpilgrim1 on our first Dorset bird race we came across a few quality birds but the find of the day was this Grey Phalarope at Chesil Cove Portland. @DorsetBirdClub @PortlandBirdObs pic.twitter.com/6z4wj3hSpc
