It seems a few waders are on the move but which way are they going…north or south? Its been such a strange spring that you feel that some birds may have given up on the breeding season already this year and are instead just going on a bit of a summer jaunt. At Lytchett Fields there were 78 Black-tailed Godwit, 5 Dunlin, 4 Oystercatcher, 1 Greenshank and 1 Redshank. In Middlebere there were 2 Grey Plover again with 5 Dunlin. At Arne 2 Hobby were over the Salterns Marsh. We also received news from Jason Fathers who monitors and rings the Bournemouth Peregrines that blue PK, a juvenile from last years brood has been hanging out at Ballard Down this summer and was recently photographed.
