Harbour Update – 09/09/26

Another great day. Not too much new in but still a good spread of birds across the harbour. The 2 Glossy Ibis were still in the Wareham Channel all day, up to 6 different Osprey were spread across the Wareham Channel, Lytchett Bay and Middlebere, female White-tailed Eagle G466 was also active around the channel and male G463 was seen over Middlebere, 3 Great White Egret were on the edge of RSPB Arne Moors, 2 Curlew Sandpiper were on the edge of the Wareham Channel and another was in Middlebere. Last night 120 Yellow Wagtail went into roost at Swineham, there are now 35+ Wigeon back in Holes Bay north, Wareham Common held 3 Whinchat and 2 Wheatear and 2 Spotted Redshank were at Lytchett Fields. There was a decent push of hirundines through today, mostly Swallows but a sprinkling of House Martin and Sand Martin too. The 9 Goosander were still in Brands Bay and Brownsea held 44 Spoonbill.
