Harbour Update – posted 21/01/20

Another glorious day. Looking at the forecast for next week though it seems we come back down to earth again with a bump, but hey…it was nice whilst it lasted! So, with frozen windscreens yet again the Scaup looked snug tucked up together in the SE corner of Holes Bay again. On the low-tide later in the day the Scaup were joined by c500 Wigeon, 45 Avocet, 12 Great Crested Grebe, c200 Teal and c50 Redshank. At Lytchett Bay 3 Bearded Tit were again actively feeding at the end of footpath 12 and 2 Spoonbill came into the bay on the low tide to feed. On the southern shores of Poole Harbour the Black Brant and a pale-bellied Brent Goose were in a flock of 410 Dark-bellied Brent Goose. At the PCW Drain, 6 Common Chiffchaff and the Siberian Chiffchaff were at the top end. Off Poole Quay, there were 2 Great Northern Diver halfway between the quayside and Brownsea.
