Harbour Update – posted 07/11/18

Wow, some pretty horrendous weather systems pushed on through today! So much so that it was not even tempting to head out, despite the possibility of a Little Auk or Leach’s Petrel turning up. Most birds were just hunkered up and staying low with only 1 Cattle Egret seen today flying over the Stoborough Causeway. Also, in torrential rain and wind a Short-eared Owl was seen flying high over Lytchett Bay heading north…brave owl! At Arne there were 32 Spoonbill out on Shipstal Point. At Holton Pools a Green Sandpiper was in front of the hide along with 1 Water Pipit earlier in the day. At Sunnyside farm 2 Egyptian Geese were on the fields. In Poole park the 3 drake Goldeneye were still on the main boating lake and the crowd-pleasing Mandarin had also moved to the main lake.
