Very quiet around with only birds of note being 4 Pintail at Lytchett Bay, 3 Brent Geese arriving at Whitecliff and the Spoonbill flock on Brownsea reaching 35. A vis mig session at South Haven, Studland produced 18 Chaffinch, 11 Greenfinch, 9 Lesser Redpoll, 32 Linnet, 309 Goldfinch, 119 Siskin, 19 Pied Wagtail, 13 Meadow Pipit 14 Swallow, 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker, 1 Stock Dove, 1 Merlin and 1 Sparrowhawk. There were 5 Yellowhammer at Brands Bay. General birding around the harbour at present is still very rewarding with good numbers of common waders and wildfowl now back and especially with this gorgeous late summer sun, making migrant birds active.
