Two species of birds that frequent the rocky shoreline at this time of year are featured in this post.
The Purple Sandpiper
This medium sized Wader is a winter visitor to our shores.
Portland Bill is a good area to find this bird at this time.
The beautiful markings make it a special bird to photograph.
The Rock Pipit
This is a resident species and can be found around the rocky shoreline of the UK.
It also breeds in those areas. Portland is also a good location to find this bird and they are numerous at any time.
Hienot linnut!
