Harbour Update – posted 07/11/17

Spoonbills were reported today from Lytchett Bay, Shipstal and Brownsea. Avocet totals seem to still be growing with c400 in Middlebere, c200 on Brownsea and several on Shipstal. A Merlin was seen dashing across Holes Bay. Red-breasted Merganser numbers continue to grow with c50 out in the Brands Bay/South Deep area along with a single Black-necked Grebe also there. Holes Bay NE is well worth a visit on the rising tide as good numbers of Wigeon, Teal, Black-tailed Godwit, Redshank and Curlew get pushed close to the cycle path.
