A perfect day to be out (until the drizzle set in around 3pm), but flat calm water allowed for full scanning opportunities in various bays and out across the open water. The Studland Peninsular has certainly got a lot to offer currently, with Studland Bay hosting 20 Common Scoter, 1 Velvet Scoter, 1 Red-throated Diver, 2 Great Northern Diver, 6 Black-necked Grebe and 2 Razorbill. Off Jerry’s Point there were 2 Great Northern Diver, 1 Red-necked Grebe, 2 Black-necked Grebe, 12 Goldeneye, 2 Common Scoter, 6 Scaup and 31 Great Crested Grebe. Off Shell Bay there were another 3 Great Northern Diver, 2 Red-throated Diver headed south, 2 Razorbill and along the boardwalk the Siberian Chiffchaff was seen again with 2 Common Chiffchaff. At North Haven the two Purple Sandpiper were feeding and in Middlebere there were 3 Spotted Redshank, 1 Spoonbill, 420 Avocet and 11 Grey Plover. There was also a Spotted Redshank and Lytchett Fields.
