Visiting Dorset in April 2021

 With some covid restictions being lifted on the 14th April, I booked a few nights away at Crossways Caravan club site. The static needed to be cleaned ready for sale so once done I then birded Portland and Yarner Wood in Devon also Labrador Bay. Highlights were

Pied Flycatcher Yarner Wood

Male Lesser-spotted Woodpecker Yarner Wood

Female Lesser-spotted Woodpecker

Cirl Bunting Labrador Bay

Cirl Bunting singing

Rock Pipit Portland

2 very distant Ring Ouzels Portland

In addition other birds of note were a Wryneck in the Portland Obs quarry and a female type Long-tailed Duck on a pit near the campsite
