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.
Another fine May day with the unusual occurrence of a fine adult male Hen Harrier over Scotland Farm/Hartland…
