Beskrivning
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 blå kärrhök, brun kärrhök, Tornuggla, stenfalk, sparvhök, ormvråk, tornfalk, Pilgrimsfalk, skedstork, skärfläcka, strandskata, kustpipare, kärrsnäppa, rödspov, myrspov, storspov, rödbena, enkelbeckasin, kustsnäppa, gluttsnäppa, prutgås, gravand, bläsand, Kricka, Skedand, småskrake, Silkeshäger, gråhäger, vattenrall.
During Spring and especially Autumn migration look for spovsnäppa, drillsnäppa, skogssnäppa, svartsnäppa, mindre strandpipare, småsnäppa, brushane and småspov, some of which stay for long periods. Migrant landbirds include stenskvätta, gulärla, rödstjärt and buskskvätta. Since the reintroductions of Fiskgjuse in Poole Harbour and havsörn on the Isle of Wight, sightings of these species are becoming more frequent.
