It was a bit of an anti-climax today, with the weather and wind calming down we thought a flurry of migrants would arrive, but the only flurry was more snow! There were 2 Osprey sightings today, one in Lytchett Bay early doors and one over Coombe Heath later in the day. Interestingly there were still 8 Spoonbill at RSPB Arne which is a decent April total. A White-tailed Eagle was in the Wareham Channel at midday and 4 Marsh Harrier were in the same area. There were 2 Little Ringed Plover at Lytchett Fields.
