Highlight of the day definitely goes to a Glossy Ibis that was seen during a vigil looking for Bittern, at dusk over Swineham, seeming to leave the Arne Moors area and headed up the Frome Valley. The last Glossy Ibis in the harbour was spring 2018 and that too favoured this area and actually stayed for 4 days so it could well still be around. 5 Cattle Egret were seen heading into roost along the Wareham Channel but were seen earlier at both Nutcrack Lane and Holme Lane. A Jack Snipe was seen at Swineham Point and a Barn Owl was hunting along the edge of the gravel pit. Off Middle Beach, Studland 12 Black-necked Grebe were on the water. On Hatch Pond, Pochard numbers increased to 6 and the Great Crested Grebe pair were seen copulating. With the fine weather today it was amazing to hear that the southerly air flow from southern Europe and NW Africa actually deposited the springs first Swallows and House Martins down in Cornwall which is extremely early but a welcome sight!!!
