Aside from the Melodious Warbler continuing to show well throughout the day at Middlebere again, the other highlight today has been a Quail, heard this afternoon around Hartland. The Quail was heard calling a few times around 200m along the footpath opposite Hartland Stud that leads onto Hartland Moor off Soldier’s Road. A Hobby was also reported over Hartland Moor.

We had another good Puffin Cruise along the coast yesterday evening, with 5 Puffins showing, 1 Gannet flyby and 3+ Peregrines perched on the cliffs around Durlston, as well as the usual excellent views of Guillemots, Razorbills, Sandwich Terns and Common Terns.
