Beschrijving
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 Bergeend, Kluut and Grutto use the area. Also to be found are Lepelaar, Regenwulp,Bonte Strandloper, Kemphaan, Kanoet, Zwarte Ruiter, Groenpootruiter, Tureluur, Smient, Wintertaling, Brilduiker, Slobeend, Pijlstaart and the occasional Nonnetje. Following reintroductions of both Zeearend on the Isle of Wight and the Poole Harbour Visarend 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).
