Dorset Birding

Today Andy Bond & myself went up to Dorset to do some birding with our first stop being at the RSPB Reserve at Radipole in Weymouth where we saw 2 adult winter MEDITERRANEAN GULL , 3 BEARDED TIT , 6 GADWALL & 5 RUDDY DUCK .
We then had a look in Portland Harbour & we saw 50-100 RED BREASTED MERGANSER , 20+ GREAT CRESTED GREBE , 1 RED NECKED GREBE , 1 SLAVONIAN GREBE , 2 GREAT NORTHERN DIVER , 4 RAZORBILL & after searching for quite a while we saw 2 superb Male LONG TAILED DUCK to round the day off .
