Harbour Update – posted 15/05/21

Yet another decent Branksome Chine seawatch today with Black Tern, Arctic Tern, 2 Kittiwake, Manx Shearwater and 2 Common Scoter all before 9.30am, along with a constant stream of Common Tern migrating and feeding, 20 Sandwich Tern, 1 Mediterranean Gull and 2 Fulmar (including one blue phase individual)… Not too shabby! CJ7 was photographed circling over Coombe Heath at 10:46 this morning, and another Osprey sighting (presumably CJ7) was recorded over Gold Point, Arne at 1pm while a Marsh Harrier was hunting over Swineham Point. The Great White Egret and 4 Cattle Egret remain the Frome Valley. Greenlands Farm logged Treecreeper and Greylag Goose with young, as well as Spotted Flycatcher and Pied Wagtail on territory. Holes Bay held 4 Little Egret, 1 Redshank, Water Rail and a light scattering of Shelduck and Oystercatcher, several singing Balckcap, Chiffchaff and 8 Reed Warbler., with 3 Swallow overhead the only other migrants.
