A quieter day today after all the Osprey excitement of yesterday. There was a selection of waders on Lytchett Fields including 1 Dunlin, 3 Ringed Plover, 2 Greenshank, 2 Whimbrel, 1 Lapwing, 3 Curlew and 3 Oystercatcher. On the Brownsea Lagoon some of the Sandwich Tern chicks have already begun to hatch, and can be watched live on our Brownsea Lagoon webcams. Red Kites were logged over Lytchett Minster, Upton and Hamworthy. There were 6 Hobby back over Arne Moors and the Marsh Harrier was seen again out over the Wareham Channel.
