Just outside the harbour area, what was assumed to be the Red-footed Falcon that was seen heading towards the harbour on Tuesday afternoon over Swanage was re-found at Morden Bog briefly early evening. The two Osprey were at Arne again and there were 2 Little Tern off the Brownsea Quay. Other highlights on Brownsea included 32 Bar-tailed Godwit, 74 Black-tailed Godwit, 18 Dunlin, 1 Ringed Plover, 1 Grey Plover, 1 Knot, 220 Sandwich Tern and 210 Common Tern. There were also freshly fledged Shoveler and Gadwall which are both scarce Poole Harbour breeders.
