Lots of fresh migrants seem to arrived into the harbour this morning, not least 1 Wryneck that was seen just a little north in Wareham Forest by Sugar Hill. There were 3 Redstart, 2 Whinchat, 2 Wheatear, 1 Lesser Whitethroat and 4 Spotted Flycatcher between Middlebere and Hartland Moor this morning. There were also 2 Wheatear at Ballard Down and 1 Redstart on Godlingstone Heath. In the Middlebere Channel from Coombe Heath there were 4 Osprey, 20 Spoonbill and 3 Avocet. 4 Osprey were in Lytchett Bay this morning including one that was missing it’s colour ring but still had a metal ring on it’s right leg, meaning this is a Scottish ringed individual.

Some real excitement on board our 2 Osprey Cruises today with 7-10 Osprey on this morning’s trip along with 1 Marsh Harrier and 1 juvenile male Goshawk. This afternoon we witnessed White-tailed Eagle G466 fly the width of the Wareham Channel in pursuit of an Osprey with fish, to then fly right past the boat and land on a no-landing sign!
