A bit of a damp squib to end the month, but what a month it’s been with loads of great birds and plenty of variety. Despite the rain for the most part, the latter part of the day saw some birding take place with Osprey sightings in Lytchett Bay (2), Holes Bay (1), the Wareham Channel (2), 2 caught fish in Brands Bay and there were 2 near the nest site, one of which was male 022 who was home improvements. In Brands Bay 2 Ruff appeared and a White-tailed Eagle was in Lytchett Bay. There were 2 Curlew Sandpiper on the Brownsea Lagoon a Spotted Redshank on Lytchett Fields, the Forster’s Tern was on Shipstal Beach, RSPB Arne, 31 Spoonbill were on Brownsea with 12 Knot and 40+ Ringed Plover and there were 2 Knot in Holes Bay north and a juvenile Peregrine was on the Asda flats.
