Harbour update – 30/01/18

The Great Northern Diver was still in Poole Park but seems to be sticking more to the centre of the main lake, also there were 6 Goldeneye. Two Great Northern Diver and 3 Black-necked Grebe were in Shell Bay with a further 3 of the latter in the centre of the harbour and 7 more in Studland Bay where a Red-throated Diver was seen. At least 6 Great Northern Diver were scattered around the harbour with a Black-throated Diver seen off the Houseboats where the female Velvet Scoter was still in the company of 2 female Common Scoter. Lytchett Fields RSPB held singles of Spoonbill, Greenshank and Green Sandpiper. With water levels beginning to drop on Brownsea Lagoon a few more waders are starting to appear and at least 7 Greenshank and a Spotted Redshank were seen from the school bird boat. An adult Caspian Gull spent a few minutes loafing around in Poole docks viewed from the office window on the quay – fingers crossed it reappears!
