Squally rain showers and blustery winds put paid to any serious birding today but this is Portland and there were a few things noted.
A Pied Flycatcher appeared in one of the only two nets deployed today, ringed and released.
A Fircrest that was very elusive in the front garden, a Common Whitethroat nearby, a flyover Grey Wagtail and a few Willow Warbler was about it.
The sea fared no better with just a couple of Balearic Shearwater amongst the quantity of Gannet passing through.
Dragonflies: Common Darter.
Butterflies: Small White and Speckled Wood.
Moths: Hummingbird Hawkmoth, Convolvulus Hawkmoth, Striped Hawkmoth etc.
