A bit of a break in the wind and rain today made for a great school bird boat this morning, with highlights include 2 Great Northern Diver, 1 Red-throated Diver and 1 Common Scoter in the South Deep area, as well as 3 Sandwich Tern. Just off Baiter Park, a further 2 Great Northern Diver were present, in addition to a Razorbill just a few feet off the shore. Another Great Northern Diver was reported in Lytchett Bay this morning, along with the first 2 Red-breasted Merganser of the season in the bay. Over at Lytchett Fields, the highlight was a Great White Egret. On Brownsea Lagoon, 33 Spoonbill were present today, along with the usual high numbers of Dunlin and Black-tailed Godwit, as well as Grey Plover, Bar-tailed Godwit and a few Brent Geese. Our two new webcams on Brownsea Lagoon are already proving their worth, with great footage of the Spoonbill flock earlier in the day. You can find the webcams here:
