Sightings are increasing now as passage begins to build up. The 3 Spotted Redshank were still in Middlebere this evening and there were 2 Green Sandpiper and 2 Little Ringed Plover at Lytchett Fields along with a Marsh Harrier. This evening was our last Puffin cruise of the season and we were lucky as many auks have already left the Durlston and Dancing Ledge colonies already, as had 2 of the 4 Puffin that had been present this season, but we did get decent views of the remaining 2. There were also 40+ Swift feeding over Dancing Ledge and there were Peregrines on the cliff at Ballard and near Durlston.
