Today was another beautifully crisp autumn/winters day with a cold bite in the NW wind. Reported sightings were few and far between though, maybe everyone was enjoying the sun too much. In Studland Bay there were 2 Black-necked Grebe, 1 Common Scoter and 3 Red-breasted Merganser. An evening roost check at Hatch Pond saw 138 Magpie settle in their favored roosting tree.  In Middlebere there were 400+ Avocet, 140+ Lapwing, 40+ Brent Geese and a single Marsh Harrier.
