One observer noted 70+ Corn Buntings across Dorset farmland today.
A telescope and tripod were stolen at the Ross's Gull gathering at Radipole Lake today. Please be vigilant and keep an eye on your scopes, it can be very easy to get separated by moving in to get a photo and leaving your scope at the back of the crowd. It is believed the thief rode off on a bike and was a non-birder. There is a possibility he was photographed by someone photographing the gathering.
