Another trip up to Dorset again today with our destination Portland Bill . We had come to look for another American Wader a Buff-Breasted Sandpiper , but when we arrived we got the bad news that the bird had flown off high so that was a bit of a blow ! So we then went to the quarry to look for a Eurasian Wryneck a bird of the Woodpecker family , there was a few people already there and we were told that the bird had not been seen for about an hour , so we picked a spot in hope that it would be seen again and after about half an hour the bird was seen again but it was only visible in the long grass and as we were stood there looking at it we got news that the Buff-Breasted Sandpiper was showing again in the horse paddock , so we made our way back there and got very nice views of the bird .
On the way back home we again stopped to have a look at the Fleet near to Abbotsbury and this time we saw 3 Grey Phalarope , not a bad end to the day .
