An early morning trip to Ham Wall this morning in the hope of seeing Bitterns. A fair few about near the Avalon Hide doing feeding runs. But unfortunately no close views, and the sun was rather bright. A couple of photos of one Bittern, plus a Marsh Harrier below.

Found a new location in the New Forest - a little clearing where both Redstarts and Spotted Flycatchers were feeding. A couple of photos from midday today. Will try again in the morning tomorrow.

3am start to get to Arne at sun rise today. Hoping for some owls, maybe a Nightjar. But not too much about bird wise. Quite a few Sand Lizards though - managed to get some close ups.

A few photos of the red-spotted Bluethroat that turned up at RSPB Lodmoor in Weymouth today. I couldn't get there first thing, so only made it mid morning. Terrible light, and by that time he wasn't coming out into the open to feed. But I managed a few shots. First one I've ever seen.

A few hours this morning on Martin Down, listening to the Turtle Doves. A few about, and managed (just about) to see two of them. As always rather distant.
