Today saw us on the Dorset coast looking for migrants and sea birds.
Several Razorbills and Guillemots out on the water giving some close views for comparison, also a couple of Gannets flew past.
Along the path a Raven flew past with a few Fulmars riding the wind, sat out on the rooks were Great black-backed gulls along with Herring gulls. Out over the sea several Shags flew low over the water.
Small birds were found in the scrubby areas which included Whitethroat, Lesser whitethroat, Blackcap, Linnet, Mistle thrush, Meadow pipits, along with several Stonechats perched on top of the bushes.
Further on both Chiffchaff and Willow warbler were calling enabling us to remember the different calls they have.
Sitting in one of the many fields we watched a Skylark rise up calling as it went until it was just a tiny dot in the clear blue sky.
Most of the field have a few orchids pushing up but the buttercups were the stars today make the fields stand out bright yellow in the sunshine.
Several butterflies seen today also with a stunning view of an Adonis blue sat out in the open giving very close views.

Other birds seen as we moved on down the path were Rock pipits,Skylarks, Dunnocks and Wrens.
A long day but some good quality birds seen at very close range. DT
