IOW birds and nature

St Cath's

With the ongoing movement of 1000s of woodpigeons (Portland and generally along the south coast) I thought I'd head to the most obvious watch point. However, due to a work commitment I didn't arrive there until about 10am, so probably missed any 'big' movement if it had encroached the island.

A black redstart hanging about the lighthouse was the only real thing of note.
