thanks mike that is helpful, cant recall seeing that before

thanks brett my eyesight isn't very helpful at times!

thanks brett, the face with seemingly black markings and a white spot made me think cirl but this pic put me off as the rump looked more chestnut than olive grey

They were mainly quite a way out

saves me checking tomorrow will wait till next week, still quiet, c.16 RBM from the causeway and another 6x close in off portland castle, no sign of any local black redstarts yet, charlie had one up the verne recently. had an odd sighting of a wind blown small tort between quiddles n cove house inn

obviously i knew it was a moff given no real options of butterfly but yes it reminded me of wood white too, but as you say not quite the same flight pattern. probably faster too i guess.

must be a few in phil, i had one too

well didn't beccy fully justify her salary there! what is it £250k+? well done for trying graham, i gave up on the RSPB some years ago, far better to support other nature orgs/stuff.

probably also the reduction of good habitat itself brett, particularly near where people live as spaces are filled with housing or fields used for glamping/horses etc, lot of loss even in 6 1/2 years i have lived on portland
