Poole Harbour

During half term I went on a Poole Harbour boat trip organised by the National Trust and Dorset Wildlife Trust. It was a fantastically still, clear and sunny morning, and the wildlife was excellent.






Red-breasted Mergansers. I estimate we saw about 20 individuals of this marvellous species.

In total there were 40 species of bird, including a Black Guillemot. Common Seal and Sika Deer were the mammal species seen.

Black-necked Grebes.

Two pairs of Goldeneye.

Brent Geese.


Great Northern Diver.

Oystercatcher.

Spoonbill.

Shag.

Cormorant, in breeding plumage.
