Harbour update – posted 17/09/21

Wow, we mentioned yesterday that times were changing, and today highlighted and proved that point to the max. After yesterdays 36 White Stork which migrated over the harbour (and then back again), today saw another of the IOW White-tailed Sea Eagle settle in the harbour, this time one which actually landed on the Brownsea Lagoon and was photographed by Brownsea volunteer Martin Adams. To have these two occurrences one day apart is just staggering, and to the fact we had displaying Osprey this summer and Beavers (hopefully) soon, the landscape and fabric of the harbour is changing rapidly, and for once……for the better! Bring on the next 10 years. Elsewhere there were still 2 Little Stint and 2 Ruff at Lytchett Fields and another Little Stint was in Brands Bay. A Black Swan appeared out of nowhere in the Wareham Channel and there were 3 Whinchat and 4 Wheatear at Greenlands Farm and a Whinchat at Lytchett Fields.
