Harbour Update – posted 26/06/23

All quiet across the harbour today, although Spotted Flycatcher were confirmed to be breeding in Upton CP which is a decent recent record. There were 4 White-tailed Eagle in the harbour at dawn, until 2 ventured off towards the coast but the pair G466 and G463 were viewable off Ham Common viewpoint mid-morning. There’s been a stunning adult Mediterranean Gull hanging around outside the cafes of Poole Quay which is an unusual record as they’re not often viewed as ‘street gulls’ despite their regular occurrence  further along the quay at Baiter in the early spring. They tend to be a bit shyer than their Black-headed Gull relatives but todays bird was quite happily feeding just yards from lunch goers outside Deli on the Quay!
