It sounds as if this we’re going to come crashing back to normality with a bump tomorrow as the February ‘heatwave’ comes to sudden end. So, we enjoyed a team day out today clearing the last areas of scrub around the new Middlebere Osprey platform/nest which we hope will begin getting used either as a pit stop hang out platform for any migrant birds that start to arrive into the harbour or even more exciting, by any potentially interested new settlers. We’ve written a blog about this coming spring HERE.

Sightings from today included 5 Common Scoter settled out in Studland Bay and a big drop in Black-necked Grebe numbers with just 2 out in the bay. There were 6 Cattle Egret along Nutcrack Lane with another (or the same?) 6 at Bog Lane later in the afternoon.
