Harbour Update – posted 04/10/18

Things were a bit quieter today but it was good to hear that 2 Merlin were back out on Hartland Moor, sparing with one another. These may just be migrants passing through or could be over-wintering birds returning but regardless, by late October/early November that area is a good place to try and see Merlin. There were also 2 different Marsh Harrier out over Arne Moors and there were 35 Spoonbill on Shipstal, Arne but just singles of Spotted Redshank and Greenshank in Middlebere. Seeing common birds in ‘odd places’ can usually be expected this time of year and a Coot in Holes Bay NE was actually a first for many years in that area, plus there were also c150 Black-tailed Godwit and 300+ Wigeon.
