28th October

In increasingly miserable breezy and mizzly conditions today was the quietest day for a while. Odds and ends of interest uncovered - mostly likely lingerers - included the Red-necked Grebe in Portland Harbour, a Yellow-browed Warbler at Avalanche Road and 2 Redwings and singles of Grey Heron, Merlin, Firecrest and Cirl Bunting at the Bill; unfortunately, a turtle dove that made the briefest of fly-pasts at the Obs wasn't seen well enough to establish that is really was just a late Turtle Dove.
