This wind could do with disappearing soon…its making birding a tad tricky. We hosted a school bird boat and viewing was neigh impossible as a constant carpet of mini-white horses stampeded across the harbour. In total only about 10 Red-breasted Merganser were seen and the 9 Spoonbill were on Shipstal. On Holton Pools there were 3 Greenshank, 1 Green Sandpiper, 1 Redshank, 1 Med Gull, 2 Shelduck and 1 Marsh Harrier with another Marsh Harrier drifting low along the A31 near Lytchett Fields.
