Also at South Haven Studland 17 Crossbill with 247 Swallow, 1 Grey Wagtail, 40 Alba Wagtail, 41 Meadow Pipit, 1 Tree Pipit, 5 Song Thrush, 441 Goldfinch, 305 Siskin, 108 Linnet, 24 Redpoll, 28 Chaffinch all north and 3 Spoonbill across the harbour mouth. At Greenlands Farm there were 5 Spotted Flycatcher, 1 Wheatear, 13+ Blackcap, 1 Whitethroat and 10 Chiffchaff.
