Thursday 28th April

Andy Bond , Ken Montandon and myself decided to have a day out birding with our first stop being on Salisbury Plain right next to Stonehenge where we saw 6 Corn Bunting after that we went across to Winterbourn Down to look for Stone Curlew and we managed to see just the one bird , we also saw a male Whinchat , a Northern Wheatear , a male and female Yellowhammer , also seen were 8 Brown Hare and 2 Roe Deer .
We then went to Lydlinch in Dorset where we had great views of Common Nightingale , Lesser Whitethroat and Common Cuckoo ! on then to the Weymouth area for a quick look but the only birds of note was another Lesser Whitethroat at Lodmoor and a Common Tern in Portland Harbour , the last stop of the day was at Portisham where we saw the long staying Pallas`s Warbler again a superb little bird and a great end to a good days birding
