Harbour Update – posted 13/07/16

Today a site record of 6 Little Ringed Plover were on Lytchett Fields along with 2 Dunlin, 1 Common Sandpiper and the usual good spread of Black-tailed Godwit, Redshank and Lapwing. The Arne café Nightjar wasn’t in its usual place and couldn’t be found….maybe it got a complex with all those people watching him all the time? Yesterday we informed you that unfortunately there was only one Marsh Harrier chick this year, however there was some extra good news in that after 30 hours of harrier watching by local harrier expert Peter Hadrill he finally managed to get a view of 2 youngsters together! Its amazing its taken so long for this to happen, so who knows, there could even be a third or even fourth in there!
