Birds of Poole Harbour – Mya Bambrick
Poole Harbour is made up of many different habitats, which in turn provides a stunning variety of bird life throughout the entire year. The harbour is a designated RAMSAR site and has SPA (Special Protection Area) designation. This means it hosts nationally and internationally important numbers of a whole host of bird species, making it one of the most ecologically important areas in Britain, not to mention being bordered by some of the most pristine examples of lowland heathland in the country.
Therefore, the study of birds and the monitoring of their numbers and behaviour is vital to the ongoing conservation efforts that take place. Through our work we love to provide opportunities to enhance understanding of this incredible area, whilst inviting you to experience it with us. From investment in multiple habitat creation and people engagement projects, our popular School Bird Boat Project, a busy and varied public events schedule and of course our flagship Poole Harbour Osprey reintroduction program, we’re driven to provide that connection to birds and nature that we so all need and deserve.
