Despite the glorious sunshine, the incredibly strong ESE wind seemed to hamper many birding attempts! A few Red Kite were on the move with 1 over the Piddle Valley, 2 over Lytchett Minster, 2 over Canford Heath and 2 over Fleetsbridge. Other than that, there was very little reported across the harbour today. There were 3 Spoonbill on Shipstal, 4 Chiffchaff singing at Swineham, 2 Marsh Harrier over the Wareham Channel and 5 Sandwich Tern on the Brownsea Lagoon. Lets hope for a calmer day tomorrow, and more sightings received!
