Those at Coombe Heath, RSPB Arne today were treated to fantastic views of adult male White-tailed Eagle G463, giving a stunning low fly-past. You can clearly see his one foot in the photos. Over at RSPB Lytchett Fields this morning, 1 Osprey was present. At Middlebere, on the rising tide, 1 Spotted Redshank, 1 Curlew Sandpiper, 12 Greenshank and 1 Marsh Harrier were seen alongside Osprey 5H3, who’s still sticking around in the harbour.
