Fairly quiet today with just a few snippets of news. The Smew was still in Holes Bay NE, just 3 Black-necked Grebe were seen in Studland Bay a Firecrest was at Upton CP, 15 Spoonbill and a Peregrine were at Shipstal, Arne. At Shore Road 81 Bar-tailed Godwit were feeding in the inner harbour, on Poole Park boating lake 3 Red-breasted Merganser and a Goldeneye were feeding and at Whitecliff 5 Turnstone and 2 Rock Pipit were on the sea wall. At Holton Lee a Green Sandpiper and a likely Water Pipit flew over there too.
