There was a nice selection of birds from around the harbour today. Starting off with two Osprey, one seen flying over the Upton bypass and another being mobbed in the Wareham Channel by a Peregrine. Holes Bay saw a good selection of waders including a Knot that was roosting with the 136 Black-tailed Godwit, also an adult Spotted Redshank, 1 Whimbrel, 1 Common Sandpiper, 2 Yellow-legged Gulls and several Redshank. At Holton Lee there was a Garden Warbler, 5+ Chiffchaff, 1 Blackcap and 5 Green Sandpiper. The Wood Sandpiper was again at Lytchett Bay also 1 Greenshank, 3 Common Sandpiper and a Peregrine. There was also a report of 2 Otter in Middlebere this morning.
We were wondering whether it would happen, but today it did with the current long-staying male Osprey ‘511’…
