The Waxwing invasion picked up pace a bit more this morning when 5 new birds were found in the Asda car park at Canford Heath. They only stayed for a short while but were then seen briefly at Fleetsbridge before then being seen again at Asda about 16:00. All the while the Upton Waxwings made intermittent appearances at Dacolme Drive in the same tree. At Lytchett Fields this morning 2 Water Pipit were on the fields and there was a Spotted Redshank there too. This morning the Black-throated Diver flew in through the harbour entrance as did 3 Great Northern Diver, with 2 more in Shell Bay and an impressive 83 Pintail. The Slavonian Grebe was still off Jerry’s Point with 2 Black-necked Grebe.
