Didnโt know there were still some in Dorset. Well done Mick.
Nice find Mick ๐
Very special animal.
Amazing numbers of Corn Bunting.
Interesting behaviour from
A Great Tit building itโs nest. Great to be able to monitor its progress. @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social
Cheers Mark ๐
My twin and I didnโt expect to be celebrating our 70th birthday with our parents ๐ณ. We were christened soon after birth as premature, Mum quad heart bypass and dementia, Dad heart attack and new valve. Thank you so much the #NHS Gathering tonight with Gillian, friends and family to watch #Arsenal
Impressive ๐
Nice one Andy - Radipole for those that donโt know.
I wish I could come up with something and make my millions and pay my fair taxes to help others ๐คทโโ๏ธ
If they had acted like old Labour they wouldnโt have won the election.
One at Silverlake today.
Nice one Ian ๐
Donโt be so melodramatic. We had 14 years of Tory chaos - putting all that right with Brexit and all the damage that did and with Trump and his ways has not exactly made things easy for any party to put right.
Lower Bockhampton today where we spotted Egrets in a field. 20 Little Egrets we thought until Gillian spotted 1 Cattle Egret amongst them which was a nice find. @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds #UKbirding
Many thanks to @harbourbirds.bsky.social and Stour Ringing Group for the brilliant event they put on, on Wednesday. At all times the well-being of the birds was paramount. It was fantastic to see this Woodcock and Jack Snipe to learn so much on identification, sizing and behaviour.
RSPB Ham Wall yesterday - booming Bitterns heard a lot of the day but none seen. Did see this Goldfinch, Great Egret in the reeds, beautiful Marsh Harrier and the Shoveler in flight. Treecreeper, Siskin, GSW amongst other birds seen. #ukbirds #UKbirding #Somersetlevels @rspb.bsky.social
Havenโt you ever had a shower ๐
It has to be the best nest.
Cracking picture.
Incredible ๐
Great to have a plan and for it to work. We planted a Silver Birch approx 6 years ago and itโs now 30+
feet tall. We have that and a small crab apple all we have room for.
Brilliant ๐
The female was nearby.
Thanks Ian
The protected characteristics within it offer many people protection - be it race, gender, disability etc. It will be disastrous for many people without this protection.
Thorncombe Woods nr Dorchester today with Gillian. We had sightings of a Green Woodpecker (heard it yaffling most of the morning), a Great Spotted Woodpecker and more common birds. Photos below of Nuthatch, Treecreeper and Bullfinch that we saw. @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds #UKbirding
Yes I suspect I know the area you are talking of - I have just picked the wrong day or time of year. I went to Pulborough Brookโs once and there were adders everywhere.
I just love adders but have struggled to come across them last few years. How lucky you were. ๐
A Valentine's Day trip out to Thorncombe Woods this morning with Gillian on a lovely cold, but sunny day. The best treat was finding 3 Common Redpoll feeding on the ground with 20 + Chaffinch close by. Also saw 2 Goldcrest, 3 Siskin, Song & Mistle Thrush. @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social #ukbirds
