Harbour Update – 22/04/26

The blasting easterly wind made things tricky today, and kept birds low, although birds of prey were well represented and saw 2 Hobby, 3 Red Kite and 1 White-tailed Eagle over the Lower Piddle Valley. In Lytchett Bay this morning a Spotted Redshank was seen again and the Forster’s Tern was actively feeding in the main channel near Black Bridge during this mornings low tide in Lytchett Bay. The Red-spotted Bluethroat was still at the eastern end of Swineham GP and several more Swift were seen above Wareham and there was a good passage of Swallow going on all day, despite the wind.

Our recently returned 2-year old male Osprey ‘5R0’ was seen again a few times during the day, having visited the nest at Carey, then at a few sites around the harbour including Middlebere and the Wareham Channel.
