Checklist Comments

Spent a couple of hours birding the Bill area before a dormouse survey at Dorchester. I parked at the main car park and walked north along the west cliffs and then back through the top fields, through Culverwell and back to the car park via the Observatory Quarry. There were far fewer migrants around than on the 15th and I did not see a single Chiffchaff.

Wind NE F 3-4. Largely sunny and clear.
