Harbour Update – posted 04/06/18

A short update today with planning of a busy schedule ahead for BoPH over the coming months including our Osprey Translocation kick starting again in just over a month. We also had an amazing 1097 people through the doors of our BoPH HQ during the May half term which is just fantastic. Sightings wise today a Garganey was on Lytchett Fields with 5 passage Knot and 1 Grey Plover. At Arne, the un-ringed Osprey was present on the Middlebere pole for most of the day and a photo taken by Arne visitor Amanda Duff yesterday revealed that the un-ringed bird is a female.  Although not Poole harbour a Red-footed Falcon was seen heading towards the harbour over Anvil Point, Durlston at midday so is well worth looking out for around the harbour over the coming days.
