Although drier today, it was still pretty fresh, especially out on our Sunset Safari Cruise this evening where the SW breeze kept birds low. Saying that Marsh Harrier were still out hunting, targeting young gulls on the gulls islands. Somehow we missed 2 separate fishing trips from male Osprey 022 who delivered 2 Bass to the nest whilst we were out on the boat, possibly caught in Middlebere?

This afternoon 2 White Stork flew over Organford, Sandford and were later reported over Langton Matravers near Swanage.
