PORTLAND
It was chucking it down with rain when we left Colyton, but as we headed east the weather improved, so we detoured to Portland. It was a tad breezy, but it turned out to be a pleasant day. It was extremely quiet on the bird front, apart from Gannets, there was little on the sea. There were hundreds of Swallows, and even more Meadow Pipits, but we failed to see the Rose-coloured Starling which had been present for the previous two or three days. There were a few Wheatears and Stonechats, with a Little Owl in the Observatory Quarry.
