The 6 Spoonbill spent early morning on Lytchett Fields before returning to Brownsea Island where wader numbers were creeping up slowly. Black-tailed Godwit and Redshank numbers were up with 5 Avocet on the lagoon too. The Common and Sandwich Tern chicks continue to flourish and it won’t be long before some of the Sandwich Terns begin to make their maiden flights. Back at Lytchett Fields there were 3 Green Sandpiper, a good scattering of Lapwing and Redshank and 6 Little Ringed Plover. In the Wareham Channel this evening there were 2 Osprey fishing which were later seen in Middlebere.
