September 28th - October 4th (Dorset)

Jeanette and I stayed in the small village of Osmington.Which is only a short dive away from Weymouth and more importantly,the RSPB reserve at Lodmoor.

0n the 30th,we drove out to Portland Bill.Where we witnessed a large movement of Blackcaps,Linnets and Meadow Pipits.The sea looked interesting,but as our time there was limited, I only managed to see one Arctic Skua and a small flock of Common Scotor.

Interestingly the Brent Goose at Lodmoor,was a Pale-bellied.
