With calmer conditions this last night and this morning, it obviously got some birds moving with a new Wryneck on Brownsea today, right in front of the new Lookout hide. Plus, this evening the Glossy Ibis influx reached the harbour with 5 settling on Lytchett Fields this afternoon before relocating to the bay. There were 6 Curlew Sandpiper off Jerry’s Point, 2 on the Brownsea Lagoon and 2 on Lytchett Fields. Cattle Egret also seem to be arriving with 4 at Middlebere/Wytch Lake, 4 at Holme Bridge, 1 at Lytchett Fields and 2 at the Wareham Causeway. Wheatear, Whinchat and Stonechat seem a regular fix for the southern harbour heathlands, an Osprey was over Middlebere and 2 were in the Wareham Channel. The Spoonbill flock on Brownsea was 55 and a Great White Egret was at Swineham.
