Loads of fledged birds can be seen/found around the harbour now. Young Black-headed Gulls are visible at numerous sites certainly on low tides, many of the Sandwich Terns are now up, up and away. On the roofs (and some pavements) around Old Town Poole many young Herring Gull Chicks can be seen wandering around. If you do find a young bird then the chances are the parents are close by, and even though its on the ground they’ll continue to feed it, so don’t worry.
