That’s more like it! A June day full of rain…this is what we’re more used to. To be quite honest, it was much needed. So far this spring/summer we can count on one hand the number of times its rained sufficiently enough to actually have had an impact on plants and water levels. The rain filled up sites like Lytchett Fields and Holton Pools, which combined with the high tide forced out many of the roosting waders, although 2 Spoonbill, 4 Green Sandpiper and a Shelduck familywere attracted in on to French’s Pools. The Osprey was again on the post in Middlebere for a short while before disappearing, presumably to shelter from the rain.

We’ve also just published dates for our Winter Bird Boats, which start this December. This winter we’re hosting four trips including a new Wareham Channel/Harbour Cruise trip. For full details and to book on CLICK HERE
