Shipstal Point continued to support 29 Spoonbill roosting on the high tide. Littlesea, Studland featured 3 Mediterranean Gull, along with Mallard, Great Crested Grebe, Cormorant, Black-headed,  Herring and Great Black-backed Gulls. A Kingfisher provided a flash of colour at Poole Park.

Building on the success of our recent Studland Pop-Up event with the National Trust Studland team, Birds of Poole Harbour will be visiting Holes Bay this Saturday between 12.30pm and 3.30pm to help you bird this superb urban hotspot. Recent sightings from the site include great counts of Avocet, Black-tailed Godwit and Dunlin, as well as vast numbers of wildfowl, the odd Knot, Little Grebe and a Great Northern Diver in the South of the Bay.

Unfortunately, we are currently unable to share our optics at public events to limit risk of spreading Covid-19. Therefore, if you have your own binoculars and scopes, please bring them along, they will be really useful! Holes Bay is fully accessible with a cyclepath running along much of the shoreline. The closest pay and display car park is located at Upton Country Park.
