Harbour Update – posted 01/11/22

Various deluges today hampered any serious birding attempts, especially in between the violent thunder claps and flashes of lightening. Although when the sun did peak out, the warmth did return….briefly.

A watch from Rock Lea viewpoint produced 2 Marsh Harrier and Lytchett Fields still had 2 Curlew Sandpiper, with 1 Spotted Redshank and 1 Jack Snipe was flushed along the approach path to the viewpoints. There were also 2 Cattle Egret in with the cows on Lytchett Fields. A ringtail Hen Harrier was at Middlebere, where 3 Spotted Redshank were feeding. A White-tailed Eagle was seen briefly in the Wareham Channel.
