We apologise for the late posts, but have been down in Majorca enjoying a bit of spring birding. Now we’re fully refreshed and primed for the Med arrival of Black-winged Stilts, Kentish Plovers and Woodchat Shrikes into the harbour…if only. Still, it was nice to see the Red-necked Grebe still on Swineham GP with a handful of Sand Martin and 3 Swallow there too. Up on Slepe Heath a late-ish pair of Merlin zipped by the top of the ridge and an Osprey was seen over the Wareham Channel later in the day. At Lytchett Fields a Little Ringed Plover was calling at dawn in the fog, but was later found on the fields.
