There was anice selection of rarities and scarcities today starting with the Lesser Yellowlegs which was on Lytchett Fields. Then at Arne, the weekly Wednesday walk came up trumps when a Wryneck flew over the group and landed in a pine tree near by and a Yellow-browed Warbler was seen in some scrub whilst the group were watching 2 Osprey in the Middlebere Channel. On Brownsea the 37 Spoonbill remained on the webcam for almost all of the day and at Lytchett Fields there was still 1 Ruff, 1 Curlew Sandpiper and c100 Dunlin. There was also a decent pulse of hirundines pulsing through all day, mostly Swallow, but a Swift also passed over Stoborough Heath mid-morning.
