Arne RSPB - Sat 5 Jan

A trip out today and a nice wander around Arne starting with Coombe Heath where it was pretty quiet on the bird fron though plenty of waders present in Middlebeare channel including several Avocet and a few Black-tailed Godwit amongst others.

After a quick bite to eat in the café it was out to Shipstal Point where again there was a noticeable absence of woodland and heathland birds but a Peregrine passed overhead and out in Poole Harbour there were several Goldeneye and Red-breasted Mergansers.

At least eighteen Spoonbills were noted also.
