Nothing says Spring like a spring Hoopoe, and although the finders account stated that it was a rather forlorn-looking individual, which was found on Godlingstion Heath this morning, it’s occurrence highlights that there are more good more birds to to come, they just need to be found. There was another first for the spring with a Willow Warbler singing in a Hillbourne Copse in Broadstone and 2 Swallow passed over Wareham Walls. In Lytchett Bay there was a Spotted Redshank, at Swineham 40 Sand Martin were over the gravel pit, 5 Spoonbill flew in and settled on the Stilt Pools this evening and 5 Little Ringed Plover were on the Swineham Pools. In Middlebere 3 White-tailed Eagle flew over and ringtail Hen Harrier was near Greenlands Farm. Hoiles Bay logged 3 Ruff which is an excellent site record.
