Harbour Update – posted 26/11/24

There are certainly enough divers in and around the harbour now as apposed to diving ducks. Our School Bird Boat hit the diver hat-trick this morning with a Black-throated Diver off the Brownsea north shore, 2 Red-throated Diver in South Deep along with 2 Great Northern Diver too. Out in Studland Bay the Black-throated Diver actually started it’s day way out in the bay before flying into the harbour, the 13 Common Scoter were still there and there were 2 more Great Northern Diver off Middle Beach. This afternoon the Purple Sandpiper flew past Jerry’s Point. Black-necked Grebes were spread around with 2 in Studland Bay, 2 in South Deep and 5 off Shipstal Point. A Slavonian Grebe was out in central harbour and 16 Spooonbill were in Middlebere. At Lytchett Fields 2 Spotted Redshank were moving between the fields and the bay and a lone Spoonbill was in Lytchett Bay.
