Wow, it really felt like things had reverted back to March today with a cold NE wind and a 10 degree temperature at lunchtime. On the plus side, we did add a new species to the ‘birds you can see in supermarket carparks’ list, having already added White-tailed Eagle, Osprey and Honey Buzzard over the years . Todays new addition was a White Stork seen from the centre of Wareham, circling high over the town before drifting off NE. This is likely to be the un-ringed individual thats been hanging around the last few weeks that seems to have a liking for the Lower Frome and Piddle Valley. Wader passage is slowing a tad, although that could just be down to the northerly wind, but there were 2 Whimbrel in Holes Bay and 6 in the Frome Valley, plus there was a mixed small wader flock consisting of Dunlin and Ringed Plover also in the Wareham Channel. A Great White Egret was in Bog Lane, Stoborough, an Osprey flew towards the harbour over Oakdale this evening, a White-tailed Eagle was over Middlebere and 3 Red Kite were over Slepe Heath.
