A slightly better day, and although the wind persisted, but faded away by sunset, the sun started to make things feel warmer by late afternoon, giving us a taste of the weekend to come. A decent return across the harbour included 2 Osprey in Middlebere this AM including Scottish female 6J8, and a Hobby was over the Middlebere hide. This evening an Osprey caught a fish in the Wareham Channel and there were 2 Spoonbill on the Brownsea Lagoon with 4 Sanderling and 9 Avocet, and at Swineham a pair of Bearded Tit were active and a Hobby was over RSPB Arne Moors. This afternoon another Osprey was hunting over RSPB Lytchett Fields, 2 Spoonbill were in Middlebere and the Peregrine family were active on the Asda building, Poole, Holes Bay.
