Harbour Update – 18/04/25

A pretty dank day with April showers hitting by mid-morning. It was about time we had some rain, hopefully enough to start re-wetting the dry river valleys, creating pools again to draw in passage waders. With the wind and rain keeping birders heads low, there wasn’t much to report other than a migrant Osprey hunting in Lytchett Bay this morning and the Forster’s Tern was on the Brownsea Lagoon again where 58 passage Bar-tailed Godwit had arrived plus 12 Avocet still and 3 Greenshank. A Spotted Redshank was in Lytchett Bay, a single Wheatear was on Hartland Stud and a single Whimbrel was in Holes Bay. Lets hope for better over the rest of the Easter weekend!
