Harbour Update – posted 04/12/19

Today’s highlight was the Yellow-browed Warbler along Chad’s Copse Path at Lytchett Bay View. Nearby, the returning French ringed Black-tailed Godwit was in Lytchett Bay (Orange flag over Lime on left, Black over white on right) and a Firecrest was ringed in a Lytchett garden early morning.

PC World Drain featured several Chiffchaff and a Kingfisher, and a pair of Blackcap were observed in an Upton garden feeding on the berries.

The 5 Spotted Redshank remain present along Middlebere Channel, meanwhile Swineham saw singles of Marsh Harrier, Green Sandpiper, Common Snipe, Kingfisher, Water Rail, Nuthatch, Treecreeper; Twos and Threes of Cettis Warbler, Reed Bunting, Bearded Tit; 7 Greylag, 100 Shoveler, and more than 20 Blackbird in the holly and apple trees.
