It was another overcast grey start to the day but it did eventually clear and it was another lovely cold, crisp sunset this evening. The White-tailed Eagle pair were flying around on the gull islands this afternoon, chasing gulls and geese and 3 Marsh Harrier were around Swineham. A Water Pipit was at Lytchett Fields this morning along with a Spotted Redshank and this morning 3 Common Scoter were off Pilots Point, Studland. Although there wasn’t much reported today, with next weeks cold snap on the horizon and the fact there was Long-tailed Duck in Christchurch Harbour today, Velvet Scoter at Abbotsbury yesterday and newly arrived Slavonian Grebes there too, there’s a good chance the harbour could see an increase in open water diving species in the latter part of November, so some scanning off the Studland Beaches, Jerry’s Point, Redhorn Quay and Shipstal Point, RSPB Arne could be worth while.
