Another perfectly still day across the harbour today. A Snow Bunting found feeding on Hamworthy Beach was a great find. Not a typical place you’d find a Snow Bunting, although back in 2008, one over-wintered at Poole Port and regularly fed on the quay there. The Black-throated Diver was still out in Parkstone Bay this morning with 2 Great Northern Diver. Another Black-throated Diver was out in Studland Bay and off Jerry’s Point the Long-tailed Duck, Eider, Slavonian Grebe and 2 Black-necked Grebe were all still there with another 2 Black-necked Grebe in Studland Bay. This afternoon a male Hen Harrier flew over Scotland Farm and 2 White-tailed Eagles were flying over the Rempstone Estate. Spoonbills were in Middlebere (5) and in Brands Bay (2), where there was an excellent count of 558 Northern Pintail and another 224 in Holes Bay north. There were 1-2 Purple Sandpiper still on various groynes at Sandbanks.
