This should by all accounts be the last windy day for a while as a ridge of high pressure builds from the south. This should allow a few more early spring migrants through, but until then, we needed to stay ridged on our feet and well balanced today as we conducted the last Poole Harbour WeBS count of the 2018/19 season. Despite being mid/late March there were still good numbers of wildfowl and waders about. Off Middle Beach a single Great Northern Diver was settled with 2 summer plumaged Black-necked Grebe, 1 Great Crested Grebe and 1 Sandwich Tern, whilst off Pilots Point, Studland there were 29 Sanderling, 1 Ringed Plover and 1 Dunlin. In the mouth of Middlebere 7 Spoonbill were feeding and a Great White Egretdropped into the end of Middlebere. 8 Cattle Egret were along Holme Lane commuting between the cattle field and Bog Lane field. At Sunnyside Farm another male Wheatear was on the short grass leading down to the scrapes and in Poole Park 214 many partial summer-plumaged Black-tailed Godwit were feeding just off the footpath along with 42 Oystercatcher. There are now a minimum of 50 Med Gulls back on the gull islands with many thousands of Black-headed Gulls now present too.
