Just a few snippets from around and about today: the continuing Black Redstarts at the Bill, Southwell and Blacknor, a Grey Plover around ...

A Siberian Chiffchaff coming out of the woodwork at Blacknor was the day's only surprise. The selection at the Bill included 15 Red-thr...

As if it wasn't already drab enough this week today even saw light drizzle set in at times which was more than enough to keep most birde...

A still and quite overcast day lent itself to close inspection of Portland Harbour, with a Goosander and increases in Black-necked Grebes a...

For the most part a more of the same day: the Reap Lane Little Gull looked to have moved on to pastures new but the Cirl Bunting was on sho...

Thus far, it's the sea that's come up with this year's surprises and that remained the case today as the return of wind and rain...

The benignest conditions for what seemed like weeks - albeit with it feeling surprisingly cool at times without any cloud cover - were somew...
