Much of the same currently, but it’s all a spectacle. There seemed to have been an increase in Ospreys this afternoon (some new arrivals today?) after a quiet morning with 8-9 spread across the Wareham Channel, Lytchett Bay, Middlebere and Brands Bay. Also a surprise were 2 Swift over Swineham this morning. The 2 Glossy Ibis were feeding in the Wareham Channel on the low tide this morning and then flew over to Swineham this afternoon. There were also 3 Great White Egret, 18 Spoonbill, c50 Avocet, 19 Knot, 3 Marsh Harrier, 1 White-tailed Eagle and a Peregrine also in the Wareham Channel. On Wareham Common there were 3 Whinchat, 1 Pied Flycatcher and 7 Spotted Flycatcher.
