Harbour Update – posted 23/09/24

A rather less inspiring day today, even though conditions were pretty similar to yesterday. It was more probably down to fewer people out birding rather than a lack of birds! This morning a Little Stint was out in Lytchett Bay but soon disappeared. The Curlew Sandpiper was again out on Lytchett Fields and on the Lower Piddle floods there was 1 Wood Sandpiper, 2 Ruff, 5 Green Sandpiper and 1 Greenshank, with a Great White Egret off Swineham Point, 1 in Middlebere and another in Brands Bay where there was also an Osprey. Spoonbill totals on the Brownsea Lagoon were 74.
