Popped into Hatch on the off chance of Bittern. Have already photographed GC Grebe but this one was particuarly lovely!
Rock Pipit North Haven, again not a tick, but very tame.
No sign of any Purple Sands but there was a Crow with an itch on the groyne (and also on his ear)
Stonechats Studland Heath
