Harbour Update – posted 18/06/19

Things seem to be getting a bit milder at last and the birding interest hotting up…slightly! Todays star bird was undoubtedly a Stone Curlew that flew north over Lytchett Heath at 8:30am. This is only the 8th Poole Harbour record, so it’s quite a significant find! Two Osprey, assumed to be LS7 & CJ7 were seen off Hydes Heath out in the Wareham Channel and one was also seen briefly at Morden Bog. This evening we hosted our 4thNightjar walk of the summer which was an absolute belter. We had a minimum of 4 Nightjar flying around us really close, a post breeding flock of c30 Mistle Thrush on Slepe Heath, 1 Willow Warbler singing and 1 Cuckoo. On Brownsea the 4 Spoonbill were still there and Hobby were over Holton Lee and Lytchett Fields.
