Passerines at Lytchett Fields included 1 Wheatear, 1 Whinchat and a mixed Warbler flock that had at least 15 Chiffchaff and 4 Willow Willow, plus a young male Marsh Harrier went over. In Holes Bay, wildfowl numbers are building and this AM saw 1 Pintail in front of the Stone Bench joining 212 Teal, 39 Wigeon and 6 Shoveler. Plus a Spotted Redshank was in the SW sector of Holes Bay with 334 Black-tailed Godwit, 282 Redshank, 18 Curlew and 12 Oystercatcher around the Bay plus 4 Common Sandpiper at the mouth of the PC World Drain, plus 9 Turnstone, 1 Whimbrel & 1 Dunlin in the SW sector.
