I had to drop my wife in Dorchester for a few hours, so decided to visit Silverlake.... what a fantastic site. The first birds I saw were a small flock of Woodlarks. We get the odd flyovers at West Bex but we've not had a grounded bird for many years now... a real treat.

Mike, we have just completed a Big Weekend at the site and nearby and found 89 species and also organised 6 guided walks on Sunday led by some of our good Dorset birders..may be you could join us next time, see the Dorchester Bird Group FB page for more information or contact me. Chris
