Portland portraits

Most of the Little Brown Jobs on Barleycrates Lane, Portland, this morning, were dog turds unfortunately. Tip-toeing through them, however, I did encounter a few Whitethroats, Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs. Attracted by the flies, no doubt. With apologies to Elvis, there was a little less excrementation, a little more action at the Bill with Wheatears and Hobbies everywhere. A few pictures from the morning below.
