Harbour Update – posted 04/02/21

Join us on an online twitch this eve as we try & locate the Glaucous Gull again on our Brownsea Lagoon webcam. It’s been in the last two evenings so a good chance it could re-appear! We’ll start scanning from 5pm.

A Great White Egret made a welcome appearance at Redhorn Point, adding some variety to the old reliable Scaup, Slavonian Grebe,  Long-tailed Duck, Goldeneye and more. At least 380 Dunlin, 141 Avocet, 124 Redshank, 50 Curlew, 24 Oystercatcher on the low tide. Most notable was a sharp drop in Black-tailed Godwit numbers saw only 119 individuals recorded today! At least 106 Redwing on east field of Upton Country Park. A rising tide at Lytchett Fields held 1 Spotted Redshank, 2 Greenshank, 230 Dunlin, 70 Redshank, 3 Green Sandpiper, 94 Lapwing and 65 Teal. A female Sparrowhawk and Marsh Harrier made an appearance throughout the day, and a flock of 30 Linnet passed over.
