Harbour Update – posted 25/01/22

The Glossy Ibis roosted on Otter Point, Lytchett Bay last night, but there was no sign of the bird in it’s favoured Lytchett Minster field through the day. Holes Bay South West featured the Spotted Redshank and a notable flock of 13 Dark-bellied Brent Goose. A small mobile flock of Siskin passed through Upton CP and the delicate calls of Goldcrest graced the woods. A dedicated watch at Coombe Heath viewpoint, RSPB Arne enjoyed Marsh Harrier, Great White Egret, 3 Spoonbill, Avocet and a flock of Redwing. A further 3 Marsh Harrier quartered Lytchett Bay airspace and only the second site record of Pale-bellied Brent Goose was logged off footpath 12 (Lytchett Way).
