Still a pleasant day today but with a wind building from the south-west a choppy sea and rustling trees made things a bit tricky for birding. That said being tucked up in a hide was well worth it as at Holton Pools there were two Water Pipit again also 2 Green Sandpiper, 1 Marsh Harrier, 17 Teal and out in Lytchett Bay 26 Avocet and 9 Brent Geese. Out in Bramble Bush Bay there were 2 redhead Goosander and 32 Red-breasted Merganser. There was a dash of colour in Poole Park with a drake Mandarin Duck on the main lagoon. From the Coombe Heath hide at Arne and the Middlebere hide, looking down into Middlebere there were c500 Wigeon, c500 Avocet and small numbers of Grey Plover, Dunlin and Black-tailed and Godwit. The sight of c500 Avocet flying around what is quite incredible and well worth going to see.
