Harbour Update – posted 17/11/18

The sun was back and shining bright today after the murk had cleared. The now (hopefully) resident Cattle Egret flock which this morning stood at 18 individuals (but later rose to 20) were first seen in the field along Nutcrack Lane, then moved to Bestwall, then disappeared then moved back to Nutcrack Lane again, so they seem pretty mobile. A Great White Egret was off Coombe Heath in Middlebere several times today and 2 Hen Harrier were seen with one in Middlebere and a ringtail in Lytchett Bay. In Poole Park there were 6 Goldeneye, 1 Red-breasted Merganser and 4 Sandwich Tern left the roost there too at dawn. At Arne 20 Spoonbill were on Shipstal Point with one very confiding individual feeding just off Shipstal Beach.
