With the promise of some sun on Monday, and the some much needed vitamin D for everyone, will we finally see some movement of birds from the north? The blanket of cloud thats been sat over us since late October has resulted in 0 hours of sun being recorded in Dorset for nearly 2-weeks which has all but killed off any migration from the north other than Redwing. Finch numbers are well down compared to ‘normal’ early Novembers and we’ve not had a sniff of any Wood Pigeon migration. Will the sun also see the departure of long staying male Osprey ‘511’ into next week who was still in Middlebere this morning feeding on a flouder. This morning 2 Hawfinch flew over Rock Lea View at Lytchett Bay and a late Swallow also went through there late morning and a Spotted Redshank was on Lytchett Fields. A drake Pochard on Hatch Pond this morning is certainly noteworthy these days. The White-tailed Eagle pair were back in the Wareham Channel this morning and 4 Marsh Harrier were at Swineham.
