Harbour Update – posted 25/08/24

Strong south-westerly winds continued to hold up the departure of migratory Ospreys this morning, much to the enjoyment of those on our Osprey Cruise who saw a minimum of 10 Osprey, including at least one juvenile and a Scottish-ringed adult female! Also seen across todays two trips were 2 White-tailed Eagle, 2 Marsh Harrier, 2 Hobby, and 300 Black-tailed Godwit in the Wareham Channel, plus 21 Spoonbill, 20 Avocet, 3 Grey Plover, 6 Ringed Plover, and 6 Greenshank on the Brownsea Lagoon. Elsewhere, in Lytchett Bay there were 23 Greenshank, 5 Ringed Plover, 2 Spotted Redshank and 12 Green Sandpiper. In the Middlebere Channel Marsh harrier, Sparrowhawk, Whimbrel, Curlew, and a Spotted Flycatcher were all seen, with another of the latter at Sunnyside Farm.
