With November drawing to a close, it was decent of the mid-week Surf Scoter to reappear today off Middle Beach, Studland having gone missing yesterday. It was flushed a few times by boats and kayakers, but on the whole stayed off Middle Beach for most of the day. There were also 6 Black-necked Grebe off Middle Beach plus 1 Great Northern Diver and 1 Red-throated Diver. There was another Red-throated Diver at the harbour mouth and there was one each of Slavonian Grebe, Black-necked Grebe and Great Northern Diver off Jerry’s Point. A male Hen Harrier was seen in Middlebere again, there were 6 Spoonbill in Lytchett Bay and 2 at Middlebere.
