Definitely colder today with more Redwing and Fieldfare arriving this morning. Cold enough also to see 12 Spoonbill move from their favourite haunt of the Brownsea Lagoon over to Holes Bay NW. Scottish male Osprey ‘511’ was still in Middlebere pretty much all day and a Merlin was seen along the Middlebere track. A White-tailed Eagle flew low over the Arne road, 6 Marsh Harrier were around Giggers this AM and 2 Great White Egret were seen heading up the Frome Valley.
