A
walk round the southern end of Portland in the morning produced a handful of
fresh migrants despite the brisk westerly wind; totals included my first 17 Wheatears of the year, a Black Redstart, 22+
Chiffchaffs, 8+ Stonechats and a trickle of Meadow Pipits and a couple of alba
Wagtails in off the sea whilst other birds included a pair of Peregrines over
the Bill, good numbers of Auks on the cliffs and plenty of Kestrels. The first Willow Warbler was trapped at the Obs around
mid-morning. Didn’t see much in the
afternoon but a walk round Radipole RSPB produced a good spread of Chiffchaffs
throughout (presumably new in) and a singing Blackcap before a group of 10 Manx Shearwaters went east late afternoon,
as seen from the Obs – also my first of the year.
