Arne RSPB & Studland - Sat 4 Jan

A day out today and a trip down to Arne RSPB where we started the day with a walk around Combe Heath, and it was pretty quiet to be honest, despite the lovely weather. Middlebeare channel provided the only interest with a scattering of waders, including Avocet and Curlew, and a few wildfowl.
After lunch at the RSPB café we headed out to Shipstal Point where a few Spoonbill were asleep on their usual spit and out in Poole Harbour a Great Northern Diver and Goldeneye were seen.
We then made the quick drive round to Studland where I soon located a total of five Ring-necked Parakeets, was pretty pleased as I'd not seen any around here for a while.

Out one the sea there were four Black-necked Grebes and seven Common Scoter.

All in all a nice day out.
