Yes - a few 'mullets' in the making - they look like a boy-band copy of a young Duran-Duran!
PB - many 'appy memories, saw my first Hoopoe coming in off the sea on a misty May morning - got me hooked on migration ever since, roll on Eilat next Spring and possibly Batumi in the autumn.
Spent 10 days at PB and then walked the coast back to Arne or somewhere like that only to be told of a bird i'd never heard of had just been trapped...........cue Savannah Sparrow! A fraught train ride back and for a few years the only species i had got on Ron Johns!
Looks like they're all fresh from their paper rounds! Is that Portland Bill?
