Highlights from today include 1 Razorbill seen feeding in the Poole Harbour mouth. At Studland, 2 Scaup were seen of Goathorn from Redhorn Quay, though the Snow Bunting were not reported as present. A count in Holes Bay recorded 116 Avocet off Pergins Island, as well as 25 Pintail, 32 Shoveler, 66 Dunlin and 1 Common Sandpiper in Holes Bay NW. Fieldfare movement has continued with c.60 seen flying SW over the Piddle Valley this afternoon.  Another nice record at Lytchett Fields this morning, with a ringed Water Pipit photographed. “1K” was ringed at Lytchett Fields on the 07.11.20, and was also seen in October this year. Our first Sunnyside Ringing Demo of the year last night set them off to a great start, with 2 Jack Snipe, 1 Common Snipe and 2 Woodcock ringed. We still have a few spaces left on our later sessions in the series, which can be booked here.
