Nice for some respite from the wind and rain today, before it kicks off again tomorrow. Not many sightings, but a few highlights with 2 Green Sandpiper on the high tide in Lytchett Bay this morning, as well as the Brambling still being visible at the Lytchett Fields feeding station. A count at PCW Drain reported 5 Chiffchaff, 7 Teal, 1 Grey Wagtail, 2 Bullfinch and 1 Kingfisher. Also great to spend the morning with a team of volunteers laying out matting on the pathway to the viewpoints at Lytchett Fields… Hopefully the improvements will make the viewpoint easier to access, providing a path over the muddiest areas. Huge thank you to everyone that helped.

If anyone missed our talk last Thursday, featuring the results of The Big Poole Harbour Bird Count and discussion around some of the species highlights, you can find the full recording here.
