Harbour Update – posted 24/10/16

The wind was still blowing strong from the NE, which encouraged some thrush passage over South Haven as 352 Redwings passed over with 9 Fieldfare, 1 Blackbird, 9 Song Thrush, 11 Meadow Pipit, 7 Siskin, 6 Swallow and 10 alba wagtail. At Arne the Great White Egret was in Middlebere, 2 Firecrest were in the car park, 2 Swallow passed overhead and there were flocks of 80+ Fieldfare and 50+ Redwing. At Lytchett Fields the Lesser Yellowlegs was STILL there and in Poole Harbour west a Merlin, 3 Marsh Harrier and a Peregrine were seen. A night lamping session in the Lower Frome Valley only saw 2 Common Snipe ringed, but 4 Jack Snipe were seen.
