Harbour Update – posted 27/02/17

After yesterdays Ring-billed Gull in Lytchett Bay, efforts were made to try and see whether it came back in again before going to roost, most likely in the Wareham Channel. An early evening watch saw good numbers of gulls arriving in Lytchett Bay and then all of a sudden, low and behold there it was! A full adult Ring-billed Gull out in the center of the bay where it was settled for 20 minutes before disappearing into a deep channel. The Lesser Yellowlegs was also out in the bay feeding with several Redshank. The 4 Corfe Mullun Waxwing were again sat in a tree near Lesley Shand funeral directors and were also seen on the corner of Hanham Road again. Out in Poole Bay a single Red-throated Diver, 2 Great Northern Diver and 12 Great Crested Grebe with a single Fulmar west. 

Waxwing – Corfe Mullen
