Today saw the first piece of unsettled weather for a while which was a tad frustrating for our School Bird Boat trip, although all the regulars were logged with a Guillemot off Poole Quay, a Great Northern Diver off Jerry’s Point, c20 Spoonbill on Shipstal and a Marsh Harrier over there too, 11 Goldeneye in central harbour and plenty of Red-breasted Merganser. The Siberian Chiffchaff was calling perfectly and beautifully in the PCW Drain this morning too with 3 collybita (Common) Chiffchaff in there too. The Glossy Ibis dropped out into the centre of Lytchett Bay again this evening and off Middle Beach there was a Black-throated Diver, 2 Great Northern Diver, 12 Black-necked Grebe, 7 Common Scoter and 4 Ring-necked Parakeet.
