Not a bad day considering it had been forecast to rain on and off all day, when in fact it only lasted about an hour in total. Some nice sightings across the day including 2 newly arrived Spoonbill, one of which was on the Brownsea Lagoon and another in and around RSPB Arne Moors/Swineham. A juvenile White-tailed Eagle was hunting over the gull islands and there were Osprey sightings in Middlebere and Lytchett Bay. Brownsea Lagoon had 9 Avocet again having had a recent dip to just 1 or 2 birds, perhaps some potential breeders? A male Marsh Harrier was delivering food to the west harbour nest, there were 2 Cuckoo in and around Swineham along with 1 Little Ringed Plover on the stilt Pools, Swineham and several parties of Swift went over.
