Martin Down.

Two more year ticks today on a trip to NNR Martin Down.  Link  My first visit after driving past a few times en route to Portland.

We went looking for Turtle Dove, Corn Bunting, both missing from my year list, and whatever else was there to be seen.  Pleasingly we succeeded on both of those and managed to spot my first 'self found' Lesser Whitethroat, (which I was very pleased about) and got some good views of a cuckoo.
The reserve is massive and I'd love to go back in a month or so when all the wild flowers including orchids are in bloom.

A few pics from the today's trip.   Year list now on 178 😀
