The rain didn’t arrive until much later than forecast, so birding was mostly dry for folk who ventured out. The 3 Ruff were in Middlebere again with the the small Lapwing flock, 14 Spoonbill were out on Shipstal Point, Arne plus 5 Black-necked Grebe were off Long Island, just off Shipstal. There were 2 different Marsh Harrier in the Piddle Valley, a Guillemot was just off Poole Quay, both adult Peregrines were on the Asda flats and a White-tailed Eagle was in the Wareham Channel this afternoon.
