Beskrivning

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 småskrake, ejder, sjöorre, skäggdopping and svartnäbbad islom are the most common, smaller numbers of smålom, storlom, alfågel, svarthakedopping, svarthalsad dopping, gråhakedopping, sillgrissla and tordmule can be expected. During Spring returning Kentsk tärna, fisktärna and småtärna are usually seen. During periods of prolonged freezing conditions bergand, salskrake and storskrake seek out the bays sheltered conditions. During Autumn Nothe Gardens can hold brandkronad kungsfågel, svartvit flugsnappare and stenskvätta (an early morning visit is best). Autumn gales especially from the East can give seabirds such as stormsvala, dvärgmås and tärnmås. Weymouth Bay has an extremely large skrattmås roost during Winter months. From Pavilion Pier check carefully through the flock for more unusual species.
