Wow, what a day. This morning’s gale force monsoon wasn’t quite the spring weather we’d hoped for but it was soon over and cleared from the south leaving a bright but breezy afternoon. The Osprey was again seen over Middlebere and there were 8 Spoonbill in the Middlebere Channel. A sea watch from Branksome in the building wind didn’t see much in totals but variety was ok with Common Scoter, Curlew, Brent Goose, Gannet, Shelduck, Sandwich Tern, Great Crested Grebe and Med Gull all heading east.
