Harbour Update – posted 08/05/18

The day got off to a cracking start when a drake Garganey was first found on the small pools just south of Swineham GP where the Glossy Ibis then also suddenly appeared for a brief preen before moving off NE towards the gravel pits. Also at Swineham were 2 singing Cuckoo’s, 4 Reed Warbler, 1 Sedge Warbler, c10 Swift, 1, 1 Red Kite and 6 Gadwall. At Arne there was another Cuckoo, 2 Osprey and 4 Whimbrel. At Lytchett Fields there were just singles of Spoonbill, Ringed Plover, Whimbrel and Dunlin. There were 2 Hobby active again above HartlandThere was also a report of a Black Kite over Hartland Moor kid afternoon, if anyone has any info or photos that relate to this bird we’d be really interested in hearing about it.
