There were more elements of interest today with raptor numbers good again out in the Wareham Channel area. Female Osprey CJ7 was circling high over the Wareham Channel and even made a (now rare) visit to the Osprey nest cam briefly before being seen off by a crow. 3 Hobby were active between Arne moors and Hartland. The female Marsh Harrier seems to be playing hard to get now with very rare appearances during early morning watches but 2 Peregrine are very busy now as the chicks at Corfe seem be getting hungrier and hungrier. At Lytchett Fields a Green Sandpiper was seen along with 11 Black-tailed Godwit and c15 Lapwing.  There were both a Peregrine and Barn Owl hunting late morning at Middlebere and 3 Hobby hunting at Morden Bog along with a Cuckoo there too.
