The storm blew its self out over night and gave way to calm seas and some warm sunshine by this morning. A school bird boat trip produced the Black Guillemot off the Brownsea SE corner again in its usual spot, c10 Spoonbill on Shipstal Point, Arne, at least 5 Great Northern Diver around the Brownsea shoreline, 2 Black-necked Grebe out in between South Deep and Bramble Bush Bay, plenty of Red-breasted Merganser and Great Crested Grebe, but what seemed like a decline in Goldeneye totals. Firecrests were in the Arne car park and at the PC World drain and the Smew was again in Holes Bay south/north.
