Make that 3 Ospreys! All sat on Chesil quite close together.

The Pink-footed Goose reappeared mid-day in the Swannery grounds. Obviously in one of the outlying fields somewhere this morning. @joestockwell.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

10 Glossy Ibis east past the Swannery quite a good way out to sea

Just some of the 64 Glossy Ibises at Herons Green, Chew Valley Lake today

Quail singing and seen briefly along track to the old lookout west of Cogden car park. It went quiet around 7.15 however and I've not heard it since, but I'm sure it's still there...

After a cetacean-filled sailing across the Bay of Biscay, the first full day of a family holiday in the Picos de Europa started well with a male Wallcreeper feeding in the shade at eye level above the Fuente De cable car station

Male Scarlet Darter at Knighton Pool Silverlake Yesterday

if anyone is on portland with a coolpix p1000 or p950 would appreciate the chance to test if the battery is the issue with my now not working camera, have a charger and 2 new batteries ordered, hoping and expecting that is the issue, a lend of a spare would be even better!

Lesser white fronted goose of dubious origin at Poole Park today! @harbourbirds.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

My take on the Keynsham Desert Wheatear yesterday afternoon. A big thankyou to Steve Carey for the lift & Pete Coe for the kick up the backside 😉. Great to chat to the Couple who found the bird too! A few more images in the the next day or so here: Jwallfeatherfurphoto.blogspot.com

Desert Wheatear still showing nicely at Keynsham, Avon.

The deadly mosquito-borne Usutu virus is spreading across southern England, sparking concerns for Blackbirds:

I'd appreciate it if this could be re posted by as many people as possible to highlight this greedy firm. Apparently if your Husband is rushed to hospital and you get there urgently (following the ambulance) you still have to read the conditions on the sign & appeal failed. @england.nhs.uk use them
