Harbour Update – posted 13/07/18

This evening we hosted our second Nightjar ringing demo on Canford Heath in partnership with The Borough of Poole and Stour Ringing Group. After sadly drawing a blank on our last ringing demo, tonight was a totally different kettle of fish with 6 birds caught and shown to a delighted crowd. It was a magical evening with a great flying display prior to the demo, then followed by a detailed description of the scientific work being carried out by the team whilst being shown the birds. A truly one off experience. In Middlebere the Great White Egret was seen again heading over the channel at dusk and there were 2 Osprey seen, 1 Spoonbill, 10 Greenshank and 2 Green Sandpiper also in the channel.
