Harbour Update – posted 18/11/21

It was no surprise to hear that after a short absence, male White-tailed Eagle, G461 was back in the harbour again this morning having been seen flying up the Wareham Channel mid-morning. Also at the top of the Wareham Channel were up to 8 different Marsh Harrier, 2 Hen Harrier and 2 Merlin. The Red-necked Grebe was in Shell Bay again this morning and yesterday we received news that there was a Snow Bunting back on Redhorn Point, but only seen briefly. There were 10 Cattle Egret in the Piddle Valley and at Brands Bay a Great White Egret with up to 5 Common Scoter. Water Pipit ‘1k’ was seen again at Lytchett Fields and another Cattle Egret was in fields just beyond the Bakers Arms roundabout. Also, great work by Sam Levy for getting the ring number of the below Black-headed Gull in Poole Park which has highlighted it was first ringed 32 years ago……in Poole Park!
