A rather slow day again but we saw a long range weather forecast that suggests by mid-April it will be near tropical in Dorset, well 18-21 degrees which is a darn sight better than its been in recent weeks! Today the on-off drizzle and intermittent heavy showers kept reports low but Brownsea was productive still with a good variety of post winter hangers on including c50 Avocet, 4 Greenshank, c300 Black-tailed Godwit, 1 Spotted Redshank, c30 Grey Plover and c40 Dunlin, also 10 Sandwich Tern. Around the harbour there are still a few Red-breasted Merganser too.

So, with spring just ready to burst into action why not consider joining us in a couple of weeks on April 15th for our first spring boat tour of year where we’ll be heading up the Wareham River looking and listening out for spring migrants. There are only several places left so book on by clicking HERE NOW.
