Although still wet, the mild weather has really got a lot of birds going, with Rock Pipits in full song and display flights up at Old Harry and Ballard this morning, and once again Woodlarks singing beautifully at a few heathland sites. There were 2 adult Little Gull on the floods just west of Stoborough this afternoon and 12 Spoonbill were on Shipstal Point, RSPB Arne.
