26th February - 2nd March

Lovely weather but all rather eventful for a few days. An Avocet that dropped in at Portland Harbour on 27th February was easily the highlight and was the only addition to the year tally; 2 Long-tailed Ducks were also new arrivals in the harbour (1st-2nd March), whilst around and about the odd few new alba wagtails, Meadow Pipits, Stonechats, Chiffchaffs and Linnets showed up but, overall, migration was the slowest of burners.
