Harbour Update – posted 23/07/24

Another bright day in the harbour, if a little breezy, provided 2 active White-tailed Eagles in the Wareham Channel from our boat cruise this morning. 1 Peregrine was also hunting gulls in the Wareham Channel and possibly the same bird was seen over the Rock Lea View in Lytchett Bay. Also from Rocklea view were 11 Greenshank and 3 Dunlin. 2 Common Sandpiper were in the mouth of the river Frome as well as 2 on the north shore of Brownsea. On the Brownsea Lagoon there were 1 Avocet, c50 Dunlin, 2 Ringed Plover and 2 Grey Plover. 2 Osprey were seen at Middlebere from RSPB Coombe heath, with 1 catching a fish in the Wytch Channel. In Brands Bay there were variable counts of waders with the changing of the tides but peak numbers of 14 Whimbrel, 58 Black-tailed Godwit, 32 Dunlin, 107 Curlew and 81 Mediterranean Gull.
