What started off as a promising day, with overcast skues and an easterly air flow, soon descended into another damp squib. It was all very quiet, though we had a great Osprey Cruise during the morningw with 2 juv Curlew Sandpiper still on the Brownsea Lagoon, along with c40 Spoonbill. There were 3-4 Osprey in the Wareham Channel and the White-tailed Eagle pair sat for most of the day on the edge of the Wareham Channel. Some migrants were getting through and at the Carey Secret Garden ringing station 3 Grasshopper Warbler and 17 Sedge Warbler were ringed. Lets hope this rain eases off soon….it’s September and there’s birding to be done!
