Harbour Update – 18/05/25

A beautiful morning for our Spring Safari this AM with male Osprey 022 seen hunting in the Wareham Channel and a distant White-tailed Eagle out over the south of the harbour. The Swineham Bearded Tits were showing well again off of Swineham Point near the gravel pits and the Marsh Harriers were active out over the SW of the Wareham Channel. Passage wader numbers are drying up now, with the remain c200 Black-tailed Godwit likely to now be over-summering individuals. In Middlebere there were 2 Spoonbill, 1 Marsh Harrier, 2 Hobby over and a brief view of the male Goshawk. The usual low-numbers of over summering Great Crested Grebe were counted in Brands Bay today, and totalled 9, where there were also 4 each of Whimbrel, Curlew and Redshank.
