Harbour Update – 17/03/26

Despite the cold, overcast start to the day, by lunchtime the harbour was basking in glorious spring sunshine which saw an instant return to good numbers of butterfly being on the wing. The sun also delivered another two new firsts for the year in the form of a Swallow over Wareham Common and a singing Willow Warbler in the PCW Drain. With the high pressure due to set in over the next couple of days, no doubt more new more will be arriving. Other than todays newbies it was much of the same including the Forster’s Tern on the Brownsea Lagoon, the adult Little Gull in Lytchett Bay and the 3 Glossy Ibis on Wareham Common.
