The Stilt Sandpiper was seen from the School Bird Boat this morning in its now usual feeding spot on Brownsea Lagoon. The lagoon also hosted half a dozen Spoonbill with a further 20 birds roosting out on Shipstal Point. Other good sightings from the bird boat included a Great Northern Diver, 3 Common Scoter, 4 Black-necked Grebe, c150 Red-breasted Merganser and c50 Goldeneye. 4 Sanderling feeding on the beach on the south side of Brownsea Island was unusual. The lone Hawfinch was seen again around Frenches Farm whilst on the nearby Pools Field 4 Water Pipit were still present. Whilst we have known that there have been up to 3 different Great White Egret in the harbour this winter it was great to hear of 3 together from the Coombe Heath viewpoint today.
