Firstly, we’d just like to say a massive thank you to our team member Mya Bambrick who today, carried out a fundraiser for us, circumnavigating Poole Harbour on foot, covering 22 miles on her 22nd birthday. Leaving Poole Harbour entrance (Sandbanks side) at 6am, Mya then followed the inner shorelines of the entire harbour (bar a few tricky bits), before finally reaching Shell Bay at Studland around 8pm this evening. Along the route Mya encountered c70 species including Redstarts, Ospreys, Avocets, Whinchats and a good number of migrating hirundines. What a great effort and from all of us here at BoPH….a MASSIVE thank you!
