| Common Whitethroat |
Durlston was the starting
point of this Purbeck tour, where a ringing session was in full action.
Well, I say in full action but there wasn't much action. After seeing a lonely
Blackbird we gave up and went on our traditional Durlston walk where Common Whitethroats
were out and about.

| Great Black-backed Gull |
The walk led
to the Observation Point where a Great Black-backed Gull was perched perfectly
on a ledge squawking its head off. You can tell that it is a Great Black-backed
Gull as opposed to a Lesser Black-backed Gull because Greats have pink legs and
Lessers have yellow legs.

| Willow Warbler |
After about an hour sitting at home, Dad felt the need to go and breathe even more fresh air, a
walk at the farm would suit his need. 20 minutes in to his walk Dad spotted a
Willow Warbler. The phone rang, nobody could be bothered to pick it up so the
message went: "could somebody pick up the phone." I rushed to phone
and picked it up. Dad said there was a Willow Warbler settled in a tree.

| Yellowhammer |
Challow Hill,
Yellowhammer city. Nightingale was the main target but at the moment it seems
pretty elusive and secretive. I don't think the Nightingale has been seen for
the past week now.
