Harbour Update – posted 01/02/18

The day started off grotty but improved and by the end of the day a calm had descended across the harbour. A Great White Egret was seen in Middlebere, the first for a while. Both ringtail and a grey male Hen Harrier were seen at Middlebere. As the sun set, a mass of gulls began to feed on the Baiter/Parkstone Bay shoreline but with only a handful (8) of Med Gulls logged, its an indication that spring is just around the corner but winter still has a grip on us for now. By the end of Feb and into early March, the Baiter shoreline can see up to and over 100 summer plumaged Med Gulls on evening low tides…a spectacle well worth seeing. Great Northern Divers were still out in central harbour with the single still on Poole Park boating lake and the Velvet Scoter was still out in South Deep with 2 Common Scoter and 4 Black-necked Grebe.
