Huge high waters were experienced across the harbour today, encroaching onto footpaths and roads near the shore. Over at Baiter, a flock of 54 Brent Geese were feeding out on the Park along with 1 Greenshank, 4 Redshank and 8 Turnstone. Our next Poole Town Winter Walk takes place on Wednesday (10am – 1pm) and will incorporate Poole Quay, Baiter and Poole Park, offering a chance to experience many of these abundant winter visitors. More details can be found here.
