Harbour Update – posted 02/05/24

Still pretty chilly and overcast today, but the Forster’s Tern fishing in Holes bay NW off the Upton CP shoreline brightened things up a tad. Also a new drake Garganey arrived in at Swineham, being located on the scrape north of the GP where the Bonaparte’s Gull and Little Gull were still present. A great count of 24 Reed Warbler were logged from around the fringes of Holes Bay and there were 2 Common Whitethroat still in the PCW Drain. There were up to 3 White-tailed Eagle in the Wareham Channel, Frome Valley area and a Hobby was over Slepe Heath.
