At least todays fog didn’t linger for 24 hours, and a fragment of light was allowed to shine through. Bird-wise it was much of the same with the Swineham Pectoral Sandpiper and White-fronted Goose still present on the pools and meadows, 10+ Cattle Egret were on Wareham Common, a White-tailed Eagle flew from Brownsea, over Poole Quay and into Holes Bay, settling briefly on Pergins Island around 8am and the PCW Drain had 2 Firecrest and 5 Common Chiffchaff. Yesterday evening 95 Cattle Egret came into roost at Swineham GP.Out off Middle Beach, Studland there were 26 Common Scoter and out in Brands Bay, Redhorn Quay area there were 6 more Common Scoter, 51 Great Crested Grebe and 20 Red-breasted Merganser.
