Harbour Update 12/09/2025

Those at Coombe Heath, RSPB Arne today were treated to fantastic views of adult male White-tailed Eagle G463, giving a stunning low fly-past. You can clearly see his one foot in the photos. Over at RSPB Lytchett Fields this morning, 1 Osprey was present. At Middlebere, on the rising tide, 1 Spotted Redshank, 1 Curlew Sandpiper, 12 Greenshank and 1 Marsh Harrier were seen alongside Osprey 5H3, who’s still sticking around in the harbour. Over at Brand’s Bay, wintering wildfowl and wader numbers continue to rise, with 76 Teal, 5 Wigeon, 82 Curlew, 1 Bar-tailed Godwit, 73 Greenshank, 34 Mediterranean Gull, and 60 Common Gull. Brownsea Lagoon continues to deliver some fantastic views of passage waders – at least 5 Curlew Sandpiper including 5 right in front the Avocet hide, 13 Knot, 4 Bar-tailed Godwit, 4 Common Sandpiper, and 65 Spoonbill.
