Todays strong winds saw a small element of up channel passage out in Poole Bay this AM with 10+ Gannet, 20+ Sandwich Tern and a full summer plumaged Great Northern Diver settled on the water and this afternoon it was pretty much the same, plus 3 Manx Shearwater. Within the harbour, after this mornings deluge 2 male Osprey were following each other around in the Wareham Channel, and there were 10+ Swift hawking low over Swineham. The Brownsea Lagoon is still hosting 2 Spoonbill, plus 6 Avocet, 1 Bar-tailed Godwit and 4 Mediterranean Gulls.
