Harbour Update – 09/02/26

Although still wet, the mild weather has really got a lot of birds going, with Rock Pipits in full song and display flights up at Old Harry and Ballard this morning, and once again Woodlarks singing beautifully at a few heathland sites. There were 2 adult Little Gull on the floods just west of Stoborough this afternoon and 12 Spoonbill were on Shipstal Point, RSPB Arne. On Baiter 2 pale-bellied Brent Geese were feeding with the dark-bellied Brent Goose flock and sadly what looks to be a dead Black-throated Diver was found long dead on Baiter Beach. The redhead Goosander was in Holes Bay NE again and an adult Little Gull was in Holes Bay south.
