There is a good chance the Eider will turn up at the Harbour Mouth as Eider often fly out & roost in Studland Bay & fly back in soon after dawn

Confirmation from ex-Studland patch birder Steve Morrison that he thinks 240 Avocets is a new site record. Given the light I suspect I missed a few in that count
