A Whimbrel was observed in Holes Bay South (on Asda Saltmarsh). Highlights from a midday visit to RSPB Lytchett fields included 3 Little Ringed Plover, 16 Shelduck, 6 Teal and a calls from an illusive Spotted Redshank. An Osprey (likely CJ7), 2 Marsh Harrier and a Hobby were logged over the Wareham channel, along with a small passage of Swallows.
