As hoped, the 3 Tundra Bean Geese re-appeared at Swineham again today in the paddock fields to the west of the main house. They turned up mid-morning having been elsewhere at first light and for the early part of the morning, but they obviously seem to like the paddock fields and will hopefully remain faithful to that site for a while longer yet.

Elsewhere sightings were still few and far between, but the Brambling was still still at the Lytchett Bay feeders along Slough Lane, there was an amazing 150 Brent Geese on the Brownsea Lagoon (surely a lagoon record) and in Brands Bay there were 2 Black-necked Grebe and still 120 Pintail.
