Not many new arrivals today, ‘just’ the Forster’s Tern off Shipstal Point, RSPB Arne which then later deployed to the Brownsea Lagoon, 2 Spotted Redshank and 4 Greenshank were on Lytchett Fields, the female Osprey was in Middlebere and another was at Morden Bog where the Great Grey Shrike was also still present. There was a Willow Warbler in the PCW Drain and around Upton CP (and many other woodland sites) Blackcap song is now starting to build and ‘wind up’. A handful of Swallow and Sand Martin were over Lytchett Fields and Swineham GP. There was a Great Northern Diver off Shell Bay Beach, Studland and a single Spoonbill on the Brownsea Lagoon.
