On the way back from a shopping trip in Weymouth, I had a quick stop at Ferrybridge to see if there was anything of interest in The Fleet. It was on the bottom of the tide and just turning, so any waders on the sandbars were choosing not to land here other than 15+ Oystercatchers already feeding there. However they also decided not to stay either and eventually the only birds left were a Little Egret and a Grey Heron.
On the water were 2 Great Crested Grebes, a Cormorant and a handful of Mediterranean Gulls.
