Ferrybridge Sandflats

After another trip into Weymouth it was a 15 minute stop at Ferrybridge, before heading home.

Still lots of Little Terns about and a few waders on the sandflats across the Fleet.

Birds Recorded:
4 Oystercatcher
8/9 Dunlin
0/1 Sanderling!
Black-headed Gull
Herring Gull
Great Black-backed Gull
Little Tern
Magpie
Carrion Crow
Starling
House Sparrow
Linnet
Goldfinch

An Oystercatcher far left and 8 possibly 9 Dunlin, as I'm not sure whether the "white-bellied" wader in the centre might be a Sanderling.

Below are a few Little Tern photos.

Butterflies Recorded:
1 Large Skipper
1 Wall Brown

Wakeham

Just before 1:00am a Tawny Owl was calling from across the road. Great to hear as I didn't record a single one in 2022.
