Harbour Update – posted 23/05/15

Yet again the Red-footed Falcon pleased the crowds today from the Wareham bypass bridge. Often circling high and seeming to travel quite some distance it would always return to the same stretch of river to feed on Mayflies and Dragonflies. Yesterday evening the Red-footed Falcon was joined by a Little Gull and today Hobby, Peregrine, Kestrel and Buzzard all passed by our rare visitor, offering good comparison opportunities. At South Haven a Yellow Wagtail passed overhead, in Brands Bay there was 1 Teal, 1 Grey Plover, 128 Black-tailed Godwit, 10 Bar-tailed Godwit, 4 Knot and 3 Dunlin.
