Description
The main part of Poole Harbour is just to the South, Holes Bay is a Northern Arm of the main harbour, the whole area has very shallow water and is a RAMSAR site making it an area of international importance for wildlife conservation. Internationally important numbers of Tadorne de Belon, Avocette élégante and Barge à queue noire use the area. Also to be found are Spatule blanche, Courlis corlieu,Bécasseau variable, Combattant varié, Bécasseau maubèche, Chevalier arlequin, Chevalier aboyeur, Chevalier gambette, Canard siffleur, Sarcelle d'hiver, Garrot à oeil d'or, Canard souchet, Canard pilet and the occasional Harle piette. Following reintroductions of both Pygargue à queue blanche on the Isle of Wight and the Poole Harbour Balbuzard pêcheur Project sightings are frequent, depending on season.
The area is well served with wide footpaths giving excellent views, but late afternoon Winter sun can cause a certain amount of 'glare', a visit earlier in the day may be best, whilst a visit at any state of tide is possible, a visit 3 hours either side of high tide is best (see link to the tide table below).

I highly recommed a visit to this site and the following sites - Studland Heath; Brownsea Island; Arne RSPB reserve; Hatch Pond; Upton Country Park (see separate entries). An extended visit to the area may be needed, but you will not be disappointed.
