Neither the Lytchett Bay Long-billed Dowitcher or Grey Phalarope were present at Lytchett Fields during the morning but the Grey Phalarope did appear about 17:00 briefly. However, the morning was redeemed by a juvenile Merlin and a late Yellow Wagtail. Other highlights included 2 Green Sandpiper, 76 Black-tailed Godwit, juvenile male Marsh Harrier, 1 Peregrine, 2 Spotted Redshank, 1 Curlew Sandpiper, 75 Pied Wagtail, 7 Little Egret, as well as c200 Dunlin and c50 Wigeon. At Middlebere an Osprey was seen along with a Marsh Harrier and a Great White Egret

Holes Bay Osprey activity continued into today, with a juvenile over the Cycle Path in Holes Bay NE corner near McDonalds early afternoon. The Arne Bay Spoonbill flock reached 30 individuals today, after a count of 42 yesterday. Our Poole Town Walk enjoy a light scattering of summer migrants, including 2 Wheatear, 6 Swallow and 5 Sandwich Tern. Circa 25 Turnstone were along the quay, Common Redshank were feeding on the Poole Park islands and plenty of Oystercatcher were kicking around the fields.

A poor sea watch at Branksome produced only 4 Common Scoter, 1 Great Crested Grebe, 5 Gannet and 7 Sandwich Tern.
