No departing Bittern tonight….just 40mph winds! The Forster’s Tern was seen in Poole Park a few times during the day and only 3 Glossy Ibis were seen on Wareham Common…..perhaps 7 have left on migration back to Spain? A quick check of Poole Bay yielded just 1 Fulmar. An Osprey was photographed flying over the New Forest today, so it seems despite the crumby weather, migrants were still able to get through, and with the weather clearing by Saturday, hopefully a few more Osprey will start to arrive.
