Harbour Update – posted 08/12/14

The two Bean Geese were again at Swineham first thing yesterday, and then moved on over to Arne Moors which made them only visible from Slepe Heath. I forgot to mention yesterday they are the Tundra race of Bean Goose and not the much rarer Taiga race. There are currently 10 different Marsh Harrier going into roost in the west of the harbour, which seems to be a December Poole Harbour record. Spoonbills seem to be feeding in a number of places on a low tide with 14 in Holes Bay NE and 7 in Lytchett Bay, with a Water Pipit and the latter site. Also at Holes Bay a Common Sandpiper, 46 Avocet and 8 Pintail
