On The Fleet at Littlesea, 6 Slavonian Grebes & singles of Long-tailed Duck, Great Northern Diver & Common Scoter still present. Then a late afternoon dash to see a Red-rumped Swallow at Radipole. My first summer migrant of year. Views were silhouetted, before it headed off to roost.

Holy hell!! What a difference and improvement on last one. Really brilliant.

I agree, Tundra Bean Goose. Size and head and bill structure points squarely at Tundra. For me though, the taxonomy of this group isn't settled & personally would lump Tundra & Taiga again and even incorporate Pink-footed Goose within Bean.

The Fleet at Chickerell. 8 Slavonian Grebes (6 The Fleet & 2 on sea off Chesil), 3 Shoveler at Butterstreet, otherwise singles of Black Redstart, Long-tailed Duck, Great Northern Diver, Atlantic Brent Goose, Common Scoter & Whimbrel still present. Patch year list now 101.

Awesome!

The on the deck goose flock with that super stunning Russian White-front is absolutely crippling. Gorgeous pic.

Wow! Mega.

Cracking day on patch at Littlesea, The Fleet. Highlight was finding a ♀️ Desert Wheatear in Bridging Camp. ♀️ Long-tailed Duck, 2 Slavonian Grebes & singles of Atlantic Brent Goose, Whimbrel & Water Rail, plus a Harbour Seal made up the rest of the highlights.

Maybe, if I'd been vaccinated, I would have heard about it sooner, so could have tried my chances of trying to find it in the field. Ah well.
