Harbour Update – 24/01/24

Thankfully we didn’t seem too impacted by last nights storm which had largely gone though by sunrise. It didn’t seem to put off the Snow Bunting which has now been exposed to several pretty severe storms on the shore of Hamworthy Beach since it’s arrival at the end of last year. Today it continued to happliy feed along the beach just yards from crazy dogs, speeding cyclists and inquisitive toddlers. The Long-tailed Duck was also seen briefly off Jerry’s Point this afternoon and 2 Great Northern Diver were by the harbour entrance. In Lytchett Bay 5 Spoonbill were feeding and one was feeding on the scrape of Sunnyside Farm last night where we helped find 2 Jack Snipe for the WinterWatch program. At Norden Sewage Works 2 ‘Lesser’ Redpoll were with the Siskin flock and 9 Common Chiffchaff were on the filter beds. At Holmebridge 1 Great White Egret and 11 Cattle Egret were present.
