Another fairly yucky day with the main highlight being first Little Gull of the year seen on Shell Beach. Also the Red-throated Diver was seen on the River Frome again and a Ring-necked Duck was on Swineham GP with a flyover Merlin there too. Two Goosander were on the River Piddle and off Baiter there were 2 Great Northern Diver with another 4 off Jerry’s Point with 4 Slavonian Grebe, 4 Common Scoter, 1 Goldeneye and 6 Black-necked Grebe.
