Well over 100 Red Kite and still coming here West Bay Bridport the past 2 hours. Dropping in at the coast and all heading N. I've never seen these numbers here before. #ukbirding @bexbirder.bsky.social @notquitescilly.bsky.social

Several Whitethroat back singing in expected bushes atop Hyde Hill Bridport. Thrilling to hear them again here. #ukbirding
