hi dorset birders,
We're got a few days down in Dorset at the end of August - mostly a family holiday, but hoping that it might coincide with a few migrants and seabirds, who knows with the weather this summer!
Just a few questions which someone might be able to help with:
1) Where is the best place to look for Dartford Warbler in late August? We thought of Arne, are there any favourite places there or elsewhere?
2) Where is the best place to look for Lulworth Skipper? Never seen one, and thought we could resort to butterflies if there is nothing much bird-wise.
3) Any good places for Hummingbird Hawk-Moth or other hawkmoths?
Thanks for any help and good birding.
Chris, thanks - the Durlston website has some really nice info, we'll try to visit both Durlston and Arne.

Obviously for seabirds you'll want to go to Portland Bill, and also Radipole for waders.
Have a good holiday. Nice restaurant for fish and chips or cream tea at Portland Bill too!

Besides Lulworth Skipper, are there any other interesting butterflies in the Weymouth area of Dorset? I too will be down your next week on hols and will be mainly birding and wildlife-ing. Any info gratefully received.
Cheers Jono
