With Storm Darragh whipping across Dorset and Poole Harbour all day, there wasn’t much to report, although some brave soles ventured out this morning and clocked a Long-tailed Duck entering the harbour just after dawn, along with a Red-throated Diver. A Black-throated Diver was in Brands Bay and singles of Great Northern Diver were logged off Middle Beach and and Studland Bay. As is often the case when it’s windy, Goldeneye made their way onto Poole Park boating lake with 5 birds on there today including 3 drakes. At Swineham 12 Cattle Egret were feeding on the ‘Curlews Floods’ and 20+ were also feeding up near Holmebridge again. A male Hen Harrier was in Middlebere, 5 Black-necked Grebe were off Middle Beach, Studland.
