A nice mix of reports today despite low coverage, with a Slavonian Grebe in Poole Bay, off Alum Chine. This morning 2 Eider flew in to the harbour and around lunchtime a White-tailed Eagle flew over Lytchett Bay. Shipstal Bay hosted 17 Spoonbill, there were 7 Common Scoter, 2 Slavonian Grebe and 10 Black-necked Grebe in Studland Bay. At Swineham 4 Marsh Harrier were active this afternoon, Raven were ‘cronking’ over the gravel pit and a Chiffchaff was even in song briefly at the eastern end of the main pit. In the PCW Drain 10+ Chiffchaff were along the ditch with a Firecrest again (opposite KFC).
