The cold northerly wind subsided a bit more today, making harbour viewing a bit easier for anyone that was out. Early doors saw 1 Black-throated Diver, 1 Great Northern Diver and 3 Sandwich Tern off Baiter Park. A ringtail Hen Harrier was in Lytchett Bay at dawn, and an adult male flew through later in the morning, both male Mandarin Duck are still in Poole Park, a Siberian Chiffchaff was seen at Norden sewage works and off Jerry’s Point there was 1 Slavonian Grebe, 2 Great Northern Diver and 8 Goldeneye.
