We managed to get out on last nights Puffin cruise, dodging the showers which produced 4 Puffin on the water just off Dancing Ledge along with the normal small rafts of Guillemot and a few Razorbill. Other highlights included several Gannet flying right past over over the boat, Fulmar sat on the water, 2 Peregrine on the cliffs at Ballard along with a surprise Cuckoo just as we got back near Poole Quay. There were 3 Spoonbill on Brownsea this afternoon and at Swineham a Cuckoo was singing. In Brands Bay there were still 4 over-summering Brent Geese.
