Our School Bird Boat hit the diver hat-trick this morning with a Black-throated Diver off the Brownsea north shore, 2 Red-throated Diver in South Deep along with 2 Great Northern Diver too.

This afternoon the Purple Sandpiper flew past Jerry’s Point. Black-necked Grebes were spread around with 2 in Studland Bay, 2 in South Deep and 5 off Shipstal Point. A Slavonian Grebe was out in central harbour and 16 Spooonbill were in Middlebere.
