Arne RSPB - Sat 25 Aug

A trip down to the RSPB reserve at Arne today which started with a walk over Coombe Heath where an Osprey was present albeit rather distant.

A Dartford Warbler was heard but not seen and that was pretty much it on the bird front. I did manage to successfully see both Raft Spider and Wasp Spider though.

After lunch I took a walk out to Shipstal Point which again was pretty devoid of birds other than a flock of Black-tailed Godwits and a few Sandwich Terns. Returning to the car park a Whinchat popped up and was the pick of the day by a mile.
