Last 24 hours to finalise those 2022 year lists and a last push saw a Velvet Scoter in through the harbour mouth first thing, along with 4 Great Northern Diver and 3 Red-throated Diver, 4 Red-breasted Merganser and 60 Grey Plover along Shell Bay. Holes Bay featured 144 Avocet and 200+ Dunlin and Black-tailed Godwit.

Wishing you good birding and a happy New Year from the Birds of Poole Harbour team.
