Harbour update – posted 10/06/18

We think most people were out enjoying the weather rather than birds by the end of today, as the harbour was drenched in golden glory for most of the afternoon. Still, Holton Pools had a Little Ringed Plover on the new scrapes for most of the day which is almost certainly an early returner and at Lytchett Fields the first juv Black-headed Gull of the summer was present along with 88 Black-tailed Godwit, 15 Lapwing, 2 Ringed Plover and 2 Greenshank.  At Holton Lee the first Great Spotted Woodpecker fledglings in the harbour were seen at the feeder hide and young Blue, Great and Long-tailed Tit can be found and heard forming mixed-tit flocks already which will build in number between now and September.
