At Pennington Marsh in Lymington we had some good but distant views of Spoonbill. A little closer were Dunlin, Turnstone and Little Ringed Plover. Some large gulls were drifting in off the Solent. Such as this beast below.
Great Black-backed Gull.
This Little Tern was my first of the year, and it didn't hang around too long either.
On the New Forest itself there were plenty of Meadow Pipits busying themselves. Seen here on some gorse.

It's a number of years since I visited the New Forest but I remember how good the birding was around the heathland. Your pictures brought back some good memories Adam.
