Harbour Update – posted 07/03/17

There is still confusion as to whether there are 2 Snow Bunting or not on Pilots Point, Studland. Can anyone that’s actually seen them together (and even better, has photos) let us know so we can put a lid on this mystery! Otherwise, it was much of the same as yesterday with the Eider, 4 Black-necked Grebe and a Sandwich Tern in Shell Bay, 3 Hen Harrier and 2 Merlin in Poole Harbour west and the 4 Waxwing were still on Hanham Road, Corfe Mullun. At Holton Lee, several Linnet were back on territory and Woodlark were again singing on heathland sites in Poole Harbour north.
