Spent five nights at Portland Bird Observatory and it was real first for me, sleeping in a light house with a room with a view. The view was truly amazing from my window, but any views on a bright day is a real treat. In the five days my list was 93 species which as can be seen brought in some really nice birds.
PBO: Good watch point as well, it might not be that close to the sea but close enough for 140+ BALEARIC SHEARWATER. on Thursday morning, early. All birds flying East to West in either
pairs, fours or eights.My best view was from the point with four birds at half a mile.
