It was still beautifully calm today, allowing for good viewing in all areas. A redhead Goosander in Holes Bay south was ‘new in’ and there was a Spotted Redshank there too. There were 7 Black-necked Grebe, 5 Common Scoter and 1 Great Northern Diver off Middle Beach, Studland and off Jerry’s Point 1 Slavonian Grebe, 2 Black-necked Grebe and 3 Great Northern Diver. Once again there were 3-4 White-tailed Eagles moving around the harbour, this time with the arrival of female G818 who tends to prefer the Avon Valley, but today she seemed to like Brownsea. The Snow Bunting was still at Hamworthy Beach and 1 Black-throated Diver was off Baiter this morning.
