Another day of two halves with a complete wash out in the morning, before eventually brightening up. 1 adult Little Gull was in Lytchett Bay from Rock Lea View this afternoon and 1 Red Kite headed over Ham Common Viewpoint. 1 Common Scoter and 1 Black-necked Grebe were off Middle Beach, Studland this afternoon. There were 8 Black-necked Grebe off Jerry’s Point too. From our Winter Safari Cruise there were 9 Great Northern Diver spread around the harbour including an adult pair off Poole Quay. 1 White-tailed Eagle was in Brands Bay and 1 Slavonian Grebe was off Green Island. Water levels had dropped slightly on Brownsea and Arne Moors meaning there was a bit more space for roosting waders. On Brownsea there were c100 Avocet, c100 Bar-tailed Godwit, c200 Black-tailed Godwit, c300 Dunlin and c50 Grey Plover. In the Wareham Channel there were c50 Avocet c300 Dunlin and c20 Grey Plover flying around before settling on the new Arne Moors Islands or Keysworth shoreline. At Shipstal, RSPB Arne there were 16 Spoonbill roosting. The Dutch-ringed and satellite tagged Kestrel was still present at Arne too.
