Once again, years 3 & 4 were lucky enough to spend a morning on the bird boat, cruising a very still Poole Harbour. The trip was organized through Birds of Poole Harbour, who pay for everything and provide binoculars and expert guides/birders.

Here is a list of what we saw:

• kingfisher
• buzzard
• cormorant
• shag
• shelduck
• spoonbill
• little egret
• great crested grebe
• red-breasted merganser
• avocet
• dunlin
• golden eye
• oystercatcher
• bar-tailed godwit
• redshank
• and 2 seals
