After carrying out a few chores it was too late in the day to travel any distance, so I popped out to the small Dorset Wildlife Trust of Bracketts Copse, arriving soon after 2.30pm. I took a walk around the wood and managed to pick up a few of the expected woodland species, including Nuthatch, Treecreeper and Green Woodpecker. However, there was not a huge amount of birdlife about, so at 3.30pm I left the copse and headed home, stopping at Sutton Bingham en route.
I parked the car on the northern causeway and took a walk along the water's edge. A Mistle Thrush was seen in the car park (which is currently closed for the winter), and a flock of thirty-three Lapwing flew over. I failed to see much more of note, so with the light fading fast, returned to the car and came on home.
UK list for 2011 now at 89 species.
