Unbelievably high tide and flood water in Poole Harbour this morning for the @harbourbirds.bsky.social Winter Safari boat trip. Many waders on the Brownsea lagoon as a consequence. Several Great Northern Divers nearby as well.

Ringed Osprey fishing at Tanji beach, The Gambia, on Friday 12th December. Unfortunately it's not possible to read all the characters on the ring, but it's probably from Germany. Seen during an excellent birding trip with @ingloriousbustards.bsky.social. @ukoi.bsky.social
