A brief trip to PB for a catch up saw little other than one of the adult eagles flying into its usual tree.
Friday was a shopping trip with Southsea Castle thrown in so, three Purple Sandpipers, one Grèat Crested Grebe and a male Black Redstart, the latter on the rocks before jumping onto the railings and dropping down into the moat. Across the road the new, temporary 'refuge' held 55+ Brent Geese plus a single Light-bellied Brent.
Back home the Water Rail was still present and calling but typically too far into the reeds to be seen.
No birding this weekend.
