It was a bitterly cold day today. One of those days where you just want to watch the birds in your garden with a hot cup of tea in hand. A few brave souls did head out on their daily excersise. At Studland there was 1 Long-tailed Duck, 5 Slavonian Grebe, 2 Black-necked Grebe, 4 Common Scoter, 1 pale-bellied Brent Goose and the Great White Egret was still at Little Sea, Studland. The Common Sandpiper was seen again at Holes Bay and there were 3 Chiffchaff at the PCW Drain. Middlebere looked like the Arctic tundra with just a Bar-tailed Godwit and some Lapwing the only rewards. On the whole, birds mostly looked cold and miserable and the sooner this cold spell disappears the better and we can all get our minds back on spring again!
