RFI: Mid October Birding around Ringwood? (1 Viewer)

[SimonC]

Hi all,
I'm going to be making a trip to ringwood cemetery next weekend (it's an annual family thing, but usually we visit in June) and wondered if there are any good migrant/vagrant spots nearby that I could visit while we're down that way? Or any good Autumn birding spots really.
Cheers

Hello,
You could try the reserve at Blashford just North of Ringwood.

Often some good sightings here, such as Black Necked grebe and Great White egret recently.

Thanks, I'll give it a try

Thanks, I'll give it a try

If you have time to get to the coast, a trip to Keyhaven and a walk along the seawall towards Pennington is usually good at this time of year (can't guarantee anything as good as Semi-Palmated Sandpiper, Baird's Sandpiper, Rose-Coloured Starling and Sabine's Gulls...but they've all been seen in that area within the last month)
