A cold, blustery day but a good start with the Forster’s Tern fishing close to the cycle path in Holes Bay, just north of Asda, then moving around the southern section of Holes Bay for the rest of the day. The juvenile 2 White-tailed Eagles seen in the Wareham Channel yesterday were seen along the southern shores from our Spring Safari this morning and 2 each of Marsh Harrier and Little Ringed Plover were seen around Swineham/Arne Moors. There was an increase in Sandwich Tern with c70 on Brownsea along with 1 Common Tern, 2 Spoonbill, c60 Avocet and 4 Greenshank. There were 2 Wheatear on Wareham Common and 2 more at Bestwall. The adult un-0ringed female Osprey was on the Middlebere nest platform for most of the day again, 2 Spotted Redshank were in Lytchett Bay and 1 Green Sandpiper was on Arne Moors.
