A little quieter today but another Red Kite was seen drifting over Canford Heath this morning. A summer plumage Sandwich Tern off Baiter could have been a migrant but the 7 winter plumaged Turnstone most definitely weren’t. Only one ringtail Hen Harrier was seen leaving the Poole Harbour winter roost, compared to the three individuals that were present last week suggesting a dispersal of sorts has taken place.
There will also be a talk taking place at the Dorset Bird Club AGM this Wednesday the 18th of March at 7pm, where Magnus Robb from the highly acclaimed Sound Approach team will be giving a talk on his new book…’Undiscovered Owls’ in which he describes several astonishing discoveries he and the team made whilst researching the book. Including a new species found in the mountains of Arabia and another a bit closer to home!
The Dorset Bird Club also has some exciting news about their future so why not join in on what should be a really interesting night.
