Harbour Update – posted 23/09/23

Still no American warblers in Poole Harbour yet, but almost equally rare these days was a Tree Sparrow that was in scrub at Shell Bay, Studland this morning. There was a Garganey on the Brownsea Lagoon and Avocet numbers have increased up to 93. At Lytchett Bay a Wryneck was at Lytchett Fields but couldn’t be relocated. There were still 3-4 Osprey around, spread between Lytchett Bay, the Wareham Channel, Middlebere and Brands Bay. The Forster’s Tern was hunting in Middlebere where there were also 11 Spoonbill.
