Arne RSPB - Fri 20 Aug

A family trip down to the Isle of Purbeck and a walk around Arne RSPB reserve, starting at the café for a much needed sausage bap and lovely views of a pair of Siskins on the feeders.
We then took a walk out to Shipstal Point, spending half an hour or so sat on the beach where there was plenty of bird activity to keep me occupied. A number of Sandwich Terns and Common Terns were resting on the water's edge, occasionally making forays in to the channel leading in to Poole Harbour.
A few waders were seen, with a couple of Black-tailed Godwits lingering as well as a small flock of Dunlin and Ringed Plover that briefly alighted on to the far shore. Good numbers of Curlew and Redshank were also present.
On returning to the car, we decided against a walk out to Coombe Heath, opting to head home instead...I had something to try and find at Sutton Bingham!
