Today was Poole Harbour WeBS day, and as always increased coverage provided higher than usual sightings. Starting the day off with a dawn watch from Shipstal Point, Arne saw 1 Slavonian Grebe, 6 Black-necked Grebe, 3 Great Northern Diver, 23 Goldeneye, 21 Spoonbill, 63 Red-breasted Merganser, 27 Great Crested Grebe and 2 Common Seal.

Out from Bramble Bush Bay there was another single Great Northern Diver with another in Brands Bay, 17 Sanderling and another 4 Black-necked Grebe meaning there were a minimum f31 in and around the harbour today. A Marsh Harrier entered the harbour mouth as did a small flock of Lapwing and Little Sea was looking healthier with a decent sized group of Wigeon and Teal. At Bestwall the White-fronted Goose was still with Greylags and off Swineham Point there were 934 Lapwing and 3 Bearded Tit in the reedbeds and a single Pochard was on the main pit. At dawn 2 Marsh Harrier stirred in the mouth of the From and a pre-dawn walk on Hartland saw several Woodcock out feeding using our night-sight equipment.

The Mandarin Duck is still in Poole Park and grabbing the attention away from the more handsome Goldeneye.
