Harbour Update – posted 04/03/21

A much colder day today but there seemed to have been ‘a fall’ of early migrants across Dorset, mainly in the Weymouth area where c40 Chiffchaff and a Willow Warbler were logged and the first Dorset Osprey of the spring passed north over Broadwey. Here in the harbour 2 Swallow were the only noted summer migrants but a Short-eared Owl out in the Lower Frome Valley is likely to have been a passage migrant and a small trickle Meadow Pipits began moving north too over Greenlands Farm and Hartland. The Little Gull was feeding over Swineham GP and there are still 10 Spoonbill using Shipstal at Arne. At the PCW Drain there were 6 Chiffchaff and the Cetti’s Warbler was still in the scrub there.
