Very windy at dawlish warren today, the highlights were at least 5 wheatear and 2 beautifully plumaged little grebes on the pond. Also 10+ sandwich terns, single red throated diver, reed buntings, curlews, stonechats. Feels like spring despite the wind! #devonbirds #ukbirds

BBC headline utterly failing. ‘The saga of a £165m rail line that keeps causing travel chaos’ It’s not the rail line that “keeps causing travel chaos” its the shifting climate with more prolonged and intense rainfall and more frequent storms leading to landslips and the sea wall being washed out.

Just seen at least 3 white tailed eagles over the river in Blandford #dorsetbirds #ukbirding

FOURTH White-tailed Eagle disappears - RSPB offers reward for information leading to a conviction for this one or any of the other three. New blog ⬇️⬇️ #RaptorResearch #WildlifeCrime raptorpersecutionuk.org/2025/12/19/f...

Rainy bowling green marsh this morning - c150 avocet, blackwits, redshanks, curlews, lapwings, snipe, dunlin, kestrel, 1 barwit, 6 greenshank, 1 spot red #devonbirds

Great to see some velvet scoters at Dawlish warren today, a tick for me. Also a spoonbill flyover and at least 7 common scoter #devonbirds

Was lovely to see the Hamworthy snow bunting so close earlier! #dorsetbirds #birds @harbourbirds.bsky.social
