Dipping Swifts

 My mate Andy and myself went  to Portland Bill this morning in hope of seeing yesterdays Pallid Swift but after searching for it there was no sign of it .

And there was not a lot else to see but a hundred + Northern Gannet feeding close in was very good to see and even better there was a light phase Pomarine Skua in with them . We then went and got a very obliging Snow Bunting that was in one of the quarries .

Then news broke of 2 Pallid Swift in Dawlish which is close to where we live so we decided to go back for them . But just before we got there heavy rain came in and the birds were not seen again !

So we Dipped 3 Pallid Swifts in one day........Must be some kind of record Grrrrrrrrrrr . 😖
