Another cold and beautiful day. The Glossy Ibis flew into Lytchett Bay again this evening, this time spending quite a bit of time out on the mud out in the centre of the bay until it got dark. The Brownsea Lagoon was busy and saw 310 Avocet, 16 Greenshank, 140 Bar-tailed Godwit, 4 Knot, 6 Sanderling, 920 Dunlin, 12 Turnstone, 1 Spotted Redshank and 530 Black-tailed Godwit. At the harbour mouth 2 Great Northern Diver were seen and a Black-throated Diver flew to the harbour entrance before turning back and heading off to Studland Bay. The Siberian Chiffchaff was at the Shell Bay boardwalk again, 6 Black-necked Grebe were off Middle Beach and a Great White Egret was at Littlesea, Studland.
