The morning got off to a great start when a ringing session at one of our sites in Poole Harbour north produced not one, but two Yellow-browed Warbler and an adult male Ring Ouzel. Coupled with a Cetti’s Warbler and 31 Chiffchaff it was a great morning. Even more bizarre was a Pink-footed Goose that passed over Hatch Pond mid morning calling away. At Arne there were reports of between 3-5 Yellow-browed Warbler dotted around the reserve and the Spoonbill flock reached 56. Night recording was much quieter from last night with just 124 Song Thrush, 5 Redwing, 14 Blackbird, 1 Common Snipe, 1 Sandwich Tern, 1 Ringed Plover and 16 Meadow Pipit.
