What started off as a fairly calm morning, actually finished off breezy and wet. On Friday night a night lamping session in the Lower Frome Valley produced 2 newly ringed Jack Snipe with another 4 seen, plus 4 Woodcock seen too. The wandering Snow Bunting was pinned down again today ay Shell Bay beach, up near Pilots Point, although it did seem to go missing at the end of the day and also in Shell Bay 2 Sandwich Tern and 3 Black-necked Grebe . The 4 Corfe Mullun Waxwing were still pleasing crowds on Hanham Road. At Lytchett Fields both the Lesser Yellowlegs and Green-winged Teal were still present. An evening vigil at Lytchett Bay/Fields saw 9 Spoonbill come on the fields to feed a Merlin dashed over in the darkness and 5 Fieldfare went over.
