Cloaked Pug from VC9 last night. Seems last record was 2023 according to @dorsetmoths.bsky.social website. Also 9 Four Spotted Footman. @beardybirder.bsky.social and @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social

Poole peregrines all doing well. Monitored frequently by a good team of local watchers. One juvenile was confirmed to have fledge successfully yesterday, the one male HG. He has been AWOL for 24 hours but returned this morning....right infront of the camera! Just the three sisters to fledge now.

The Poole, Dorset, peregrine pair do now have chicks! 30th April there were at least 3 eggs, this morning (2nd May) the eggs have become a fluffy white mass. As the chicks get bigger the images might get better! (terrible 4G camera installed at distance in haste just to record occupancy).

Lovely to see 4 male and 2 juvenile Sand Lizards on the edge of Poole Harbour today, always such a buzz😍
