Finally, some new migrants! There was definitely a mini fall of Wheatear across the harbour today with 3 on Coombe Heath, Arne, 5 at Scotland Farm, 1 at Lytchett Bay (with a White Wagtail) and even 1 on our Osprey nest cam briefly around 13:22. Today also heralded our first Little Ringed Plover of the year with one on the Swineham Scrapes, which was joined by a Great White Egret too. There were also photos that emerged yesterday of the Poole Peregrines being seen to mate which is encouraging for a potential successful breeding attempt this season…..where ever that ends up being. There were 4 Sandwich Tern feeding off Baiter and Spotted Redshanks were seen in Lytchett Bay and Holes Bay north.
