There is still confusion as to whether there are 2 Snow Bunting or not on Pilots Point, Studland. Can anyone that’s actually seen them together (and even better, has photos) let us know so we can put a lid on this mystery!

At Holton Lee, several Linnet were back on territory and Woodlark were again singing on heathland sites in Poole Harbour north.
