Harbour Update – posted 19/06/21

A minimum of 35 Swift were logged over Barclays while observing the recently fledged Peregrines. The juvenile Peregrines continue to explore with more confidence, with one brave bird even perching alongside the car park ramp today! Be sure to always keep a sensible distance away from the birds as the continue to scout out the wider area. From Coombe Heath, a Cuckoo offered great views while perched, a Common Tern fished in the channel while Hobby hawked over the marsh and two families of Shelduck navigated the channel with young. Scoping Furzey Island from Redhorn rewarded one observer with distant views of a male and 2 female Golden Pheasant, as well as a Red Squirrel! Young Crossbills showed well at Rempstone Forest this morning. Several visits were made by 022 and CJ7 to the livestream webcam today, with added variety from Greenfinch and flyby Kestrel.
