Beschrijving
Middlebere Peninsula was only visited by local birdwatchers for many years and stood in the shadow of Arne RSPB reserve (see separate entry), but today with an increasing list of birds more birdwatchers are catching on to how good this site is. The peninsula extends Eastwards into Poole Harbour, with Middlebere Lake to the North and Wych Lake to the South (note Lake in this instance is an estuary). Many of the birds species found at Arne are also found at Middlebere, with the added bonus the Avocet hide has the sun behind you, depending on season Blauwe Kiekendief, Bruine Kiekendief, Kerkuil, Smelleken, Sperwer, Buizerd, Torenvalk, Slechtvalk, Lepelaar, Kluut, Scholekster, Zilverplevier, Bonte Strandloper, Grutto, Rosse Grutto, Wulp, Tureluur, Watersnip, Kanoet, Groenpootruiter, Rotgans, Bergeend, Smient, Wintertaling, Slobeend, Middelste Zaagbek, Kleine Zilverreiger, Blauwe Reiger, Waterral.
During Spring and especially Autumn migration look for Krombekstrandloper, Oeverloper, Witgat, Zwarte Ruiter, Kleine Plevier, Kleine Strandloper, Kemphaan and Regenwulp, some of which stay for long periods. Migrant landbirds include Tapuit, Gele Kwikstaart, Gekraagde Roodstaart and Paapje. Since the reintroductions of Visarend in Poole Harbour and Zeearend on the Isle of Wight, sightings of these species are becoming more frequent.
