We arrived at Arne RSPB in time for a picnic lunch before taking a walk out to Shipstal Point. The tide was out and this resulted in lots of exposed mud and an equally high number of birds feeding on them, with lots of Avocets in particular but a supporting cast of Redshanks, Curlew, Black-tailed Godwits and Oystercatchers.
Out in Poole Harbour there was very little to see other than a few Great Crested Grebes and Red-breasted Mergansers.
A walk across Combe Heath wasn't overly productive but Middlebeare Channel did host a couple of Spoonbill and a Marsh Harrier flew through.
All in all a lovely day out which ended up with us being joined by a party of nine pigs as we walked back to the car!
Happy New Year to you all.
