A day that felt very Spring like. The birds were also very active with Cattle Egret 4 on Puddletown Water Meadows before they moved E to spend the afternoon on the meadows at Athelhampton.
The flock of Barnacle Goose 10 that have been in the Dorchester area for some weeks gave away their presence when the flock were spooked from the meadows by a low flying Red Kite.
Gull numbers were high on the farm with Med Gull 15 and Black Headed Gull c200 washed up on Mill Mead.
Athelhampton held a pair of Goosander and Green Sandpiper 2. The latter was flushed by a low flying female Sparrowehawk.
