For Portland in September the birding is rather dire to say the least. Didn’t even bother with a sea-watch today but spent time staking out certain areas but even that did not pay off.
A good early passage of Meadow Pipit and Swallow that petered out as the morning progressed or did, I lose focus.
Other species noted: Little Owl, Raven, Buzzard, Yellow Wagtail, Grey Wagtail, Siskin, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Common Whitethroat, Blackcap.
Dragonflies: Southern Hawker & Common Darter.
Butterflies: Large White, Small White, (Common) Blue, Red Admiral, Meadow Brown & Small Heath.
A variety of moths, too many to mention.
