A bit of a mixture today weather-wise, but the building wind seemed to keep birding heads low. There was White-tailed Eagle high over Coombe Heath, RSPB Arne, an Osprey was on the Middlebere nest perch and a Marsh Harrier was in Middlebere. There were just 3 Little Ringed Plover on the Stilt Pools at Swineham along with 1 Yellow-legged Gull. Last night 61 Little Egret went into the Pergins Island roost. In Brands Bay the first Common Gull of the autumn was present along with 1 Whimbrel, 55 Curlew and 4 Common Redshank. At Lytchett Fields the sites first 2 Common Snipe of the autumn arrived along with 3 Greenshank.
