Day 1 of a late autumn long weekend on Portland. First 10 minutes were brilliant, flushing a Woodcock underfoot before finding a vocal Yellow-browed Warbler which quickly dashed any hopes of morphing into a Humes. Rest of my 8 mile slog around the island did not live up to expectations... #ukbirding

2 female long tailed ducks from the causeway, were also 4x common scoter from the rn cem and a possible BTDiver with a gleaming white front but brief distant view from rn cem hard to be certain.
