Reed Warbler – Peter Boardman
The sea was given a watch this morning, when: a Great Northern Diver passed west and a Fulmar, 2 Common Tern, 50 Sandwich Tern and 45 Gannet were offshore; while a mixed wader flock of 15 Sanderling, a Dunlin and a Turnstone passed. Other waders included: a Common Sandpiper on the sandspit, a Whimbrel in-off over Mudeford Quay that was later seen at Stanpit and a lone Black-tailed Godwit in Holloway’s Dock. To finish with the birds, at least 3 Mediterranean Gull were about, as was the Cuckoo, and the Brent Goose remained. Of mammal interest, a Grey Seal was in the Run.
