Harbour Update – posted 17/02/21

Miserable weather saw limited coverage across the harbour today with short weather windows keeping daily exercise brief. Of note was an Egyptian Goose that dropped down onto Bestwall rugby pitch. The Ring-necked Duck remained present on the Gravel Pit, a Merlin chasing Skylark in the area and the flood plain logged 76 Curlew and 55 Lapwing. Full summer plumage Mediterranean Gull are always a treat, and calling birds from the Stone Bench, Holes Bay are a welcome sign that spring is just around the corner. Both Holes Bay Peregrine were present on the highrise ASDA block mid-morning.
