This mornings SE winds provided a decent sea watch from Branksome Chine and saw an adult Little Gull actively feeding just off the chine. There was a decent number of divers too with a minimum of 8 Red-throated Diver, the largest group being a flock of 3 heading east, plus 3 Great Northern Diver and 3 diver sp, also 3 Mediterranean Gull, 2 Sandwich Tern, 8 Kittiwake, 10+ Gannet, 1 Fulmar, 20 of Razorbill/Guillemot and 11 dark-bellied Brent Geese. There were other Little Gulls today too with another adult off the Brownsea south shore this afternoon and another was over Lytchett Fields where there was also 1 Spotted Redshank. The White-fronted Goose flock of 30+ were back at Ridge again, moving between Arne Moors and their favourite field. A Siberian Chiffchaff was at the PCW Drain and the redhead Goosander was once again in Holes Bay NE, before flying off south this evening.
