Not a lot has been reported today, however Lytchett Fields had a good number of species with 1 Greenshank, 2 Little Ringed Plover, 5 Green Sandpiper, 64 Redshank, 51 Black-tailed Godwit and 32 Lapwing reported. Highlights from Brownsea Lagoon were 6 Spoonbill and some very active Sandwich Tern Chicks desperate to get into the sky! Plenty of Shelduck with their ducklings and c50 Oystercatcher. At Lytchett Bay late evening 2 Great White Egret were out in the bay and on the fields there were 3 Little Ringed Plover, 1 Greenshank and 3 Green Sandpiper. Our Nightjar walk was also a real gooden, with 3-4 Nightjar active around us, also 1 Cuckoo, 1 Hobby, 2 Dartford Warbler, 1 Fox cub and 2 Hares seen.
