Good to have another report of Hobby today, this time over Lytchett Bay. There was also an Osprey fishing in Lytchett Bay early in the morning. The Forster’s Tern was back on Brownsea Lagoon again, on the “boomberang” island. A nice count of 5 Wheatear we present at Greenlands Farm at Studland. Over in Brands Bay was a count of 2 Great Northern Diver, 1 dark-bellied Brent Goose, 9 Red-breasted Merganser, 5 Grey Plover, 1 Ringed Plover, 1 Bar-tailed Godwit, 2 Dunlin, 4 Turnstone and 2 Whimbrel. A single Greenshank was reported in the Middlebere Channel.
