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.

Beautifully calm today, especially for our School Bird Boat with 3 Great Northern Diver off the Brownsea north…
