Harbour Update – posted 13/07/24

Sorry for the late post this evening, we’ve been out ‘Nightjaring’ on Canford Heath this evening with Dorset Nightjar Study Group where 2 juvenile Nightjar were caught as part of their study. Sightings from across the harbour today included 6 Spotted Redshank, 3 Spoonbill, 2 Whimbrel 1 Osprey (male 022) and 1 Cuckoo in Middlebere. At Lytchett Bay the first 3 Avocet of the autumn were feeding, perhaps the same 3 that were on Brownsea yesterday? The White-tailed Eagle pair were seen off Ham Common viewpoint, out in the Wareham Channel and a Red Kite was over Ridge. Over Wareham High Street 26 screaming Swift were bombing up and down again, soon to depart!
