Harbour Update – posted 18/03/17

Despite the strong SW wind which could be keeping the arrival of more migrants at bay over the coming days, a nice group of hirundines were feeding over Swineham GP at dawn with c30 Sand Martin, 3 Swallow and a single House Martin with 3 Pochard, 6 Cetti’s Warbler, 11 Great Crested Grebe, 1 Little Grebe and plenty of Chiffchaff on or around the main pit. Off Middle Beach, Studland 8 Black-necked Grebe were spread across the bay with 2 Common Scoter, 2 Gannet, 5 Med Gulls and 2 Ring-necked Parakeet also noted. A single Purple Sandpiper was at North Haven (Sandbanks) and a decent Sanderling flock is still feeding on Shell Beach. The Green Winged Teal was still on Lytchett Fields.
