Harbour Update – posted 19/07/21

Well, it almost hit the 30 degree mark today which is quite something for Poole Harbour! An impressive 229 Curlew arrived into Middlebere this evening, highlighting the volume of some waders that are moving currently with 2 Spoonbill and 1 Greenshank there and both Ospreys CJ7 and 022 being seen over Hydes Heath too. At Lytchett Fields a Marsh Harrier was keeping waders away from the fields and another 2 lemon yellow Willow Warbler were on Stoborough Heath. A few juvenile Mediterranean Gulls are now appearing, with individuals at Baiter and Lytchett Fields and most of Common Tern on Brownsea have now fledged, although teh Sandwich Tern colony is still busy busy busy.
