The 4 Sandwich terns back on the boomerang on #WildBrownsea lagoon. Looking pretty smart now (apologies for phone pic through scope). @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social

2 days running I've missed the WT Eagle on #WildBrownsea... seen over the lagoon this morning and the other side of the island yesterday. Both times I've been opposite end. Eagles are very naughty birds I've decided! @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social

Very! How such a tiny fly can produce all that is incredible!
Who's that in the right hand picture?

Lots of black-headed gulls prospecting on #WildBrownsea lagoon this morning. Also, several Med gulls though they should head off up the Wareham Channel in due course. No sign of the 3 Sani Terns @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social

Both the flavours of shanks on offer on #WildBrownsea lagoon today @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social
Thank you Rebecca! Lovely to find a simple Musk-free platform.
Ants are awake! Still fascinates me how these little dudes self organise to build these giant structures, coordinate defence, foraging & mating etc without a single spreadsheet or team meeting! #WildBrownsea @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social
Hello Bluesky! My first ever post kicking off with one of 6 gorgeous greenshank successfully feeding on #WildBrownsea lagoon. You can hear calls of one of the 24 Med gulls present. Aaah Spring is a-coming! 🌞
