Not a bird for my first Bsky post but was surprised to see this Otter out fishing this morning at Hengistbury Head! My first time seeing one well in the UK! It certainly brightened up a quiet morning. 4 Little Tern were the best of the rest.

Hengistbury Head is always a good site for Purple Sandpiper during the winter months and I was pleased to connect with no less than 27 Individuals this afternoon feeding on the algae covered rocks along the shoreline. @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social
