Harbour Update – posted 07/02/24

With calm weather settling over the area it allowed for folk to get out and explore before the next bought of rain appears! Lots going today with a Black-throated Diver and a raft of 3 Great Northern Diver near the chain ferry at Sandbanks. At Lytchett Fields there were 2 Water Pipit, a Spotted Redshank and 2 Marsh Harrier. In Middlebere a White-tailed Eagle flew over along with 1 Merlin and there were 3 Spoonbill in the channel. The 8 Waxwing were in Upton again at Dacolme Drive. Off Jerry’s Point there was a single Slavonian Grebe, 2 Black-necked Grebe and 2 Great Northern Diver. A ringtail Hen Harrier was at Swineham and a Merlin was over Wareham Common again.
