With last nights snowfall it was hoped that a cold weather movement would be sparked at dawn, and although some Lapwing, Redwing, Fieldfare and Skylark were noted moving across the harbour at various locations, there certainly wasn’t a mass exodus of birds looking to escape the cold weather. That said, out on Baiter a flock of 15 Skylark was unusual and a Golden Plover flew over Poole Quay. Lapwing, Fieldfare and Redwing were settling on exposed grassy/muddy fields in the south of the harbour and 4 Cattle Egret were looking mighty miserable along Holme Lane. At Shell Bay, Studland a 1^st winter male Eider was settled and 2 Great Northern Diver were also in Shell Bay. In between North Haven and Brownsea 2 Black-necked Grebe and 10 Red-breasted Merganser were settled.  In Parkstone Bay, off Baiter 2 Sandwich Tern were fishing and 6 Goldeneye were on the water. Poole Park was busy again with 57 Black-tailed Godwit, 29 Dunlin, 17 Redshank, 29 Oystercatcher, 1 Greenshank and 8 Shoveler. At Lytchett Fields there were 3 Water Pipit and a Woodcock was flushed from the approach path. In Lytchett Minster 2 Cattle Egret were in the field opposite the Bakers Arms with several Little Egret. A male Merlin was up on Hartland and 3 Marsh Harrier were in the west harbour roost.
