The day was dominated by strong winds, making field conditions for our new Osprey pair and general birdwatching around the harbour very difficult! To capitalise on the strong southerly winds before turning too westerly through the afternoon, a late morning seawatch surveying Poole Bay from Branksome Chine yielded 20 Manx Shearwater, a summer plumage Black-throated Diver, another small diver sp. (likely also Black-throated), 45+ Dunlin flock and a young Peregrine.

Our Puffin Cruise this Saturday May 22nd has been postponed due to the weather forecast. If you’re booked on then you should have received an email from us. If not, please contact our bookings team via email – bookings@birdsofpooleharbour.co.uk

Thank you for understanding.
