The weather this morning was shaping up to potentially produce a decent sea watch out in Poole Bay, however a 3-hour stint watching from Branksome Chine produced nothing more than 1 Red-throated Diver, 12 Wigeon, 1 Tufted Duck, 1 Pintail, 8 Common Scoter, 1 dark-bellied Brent Goose, 2 Curlew, 6 Dunlin and 46 Gannet. Within the harbour, with wind and rain throughout the rest of the day sightings of much else were pretty limited but there were 5 Spoonbill, 2 Spotted Redshank, 8 Greenshank, 1 Marsh Harrier and 1 Peregrine in Lytchett Bay.
