Harbour Update – 22/03/26

Another beaut of a day, although a touch of frost and the minus 2 temperature at sunrise was a bit of a surprise. There was still a good spread of birds and a small handful of new arrivals including 2 new Black-necked Grebe which were in the mouth of the Wareham Channel, one of which was in full summer breeding plumage, plus a small group of Swallow passed quickly over the Wareham Channel. The Forster’s Tern was still on the Brownsea Lagoon for the majority of the day, along with 3 Spoonbill, c200 Mediterranean Gull, c10 Sandwich Tern, c30 Avocet and 5 Greenshank. There were still 3 Great Northern Diver close to the harbour entrance and a few Red Kite were ‘milling around’ over the Wareham Channel. A single White-tailed Eagle was seen distantly beyond Wareham getting harassed by a Buzzard and on the Stilt Pools at Swineham there were 5 Little Ringed Plover. The 3 Glossy Ibis were were still on Wareham Common, a Spotted Redshank was in Middlebere and a Great White Egret was in Lytchett Bay.
