Beschrijving
Weymouth gets very busy during the Summer peak holiday season and is best avoided during this time. Weymouth Harbour is protected by The Nothe and Pavilion Piers, two Easterly projecting peninsulas giving excellent views of the bay. During Winter Middelste Zaagbek, Eider, Zwarte Zee-eend, Fuut and IJsduiker are the most common, smaller numbers of Roodkeelduiker, Parelduiker, IJseend, Kuifduiker, Geoorde Fuut, Roodhalsfuut, Zeekoet and Alk can be expected. During Spring returning Grote Stern, Visdief and Dwergstern are usually seen. During periods of prolonged freezing conditions Topper, Nonnetje and Grote Zaagbek seek out the bays sheltered conditions. During Autumn Nothe Gardens can hold Vuurgoudhaan, Bonte Vliegenvanger and Tapuit (an early morning visit is best). Autumn gales especially from the East can give seabirds such as Stormvogeltje, Dwergmeeuw and Vorkstaartmeeuw. Weymouth Bay has an extremely large Kokmeeuw roost during Winter months. From Pavilion Pier check carefully through the flock for more unusual species.
