We were treated to a wildlife spectacle during the Sea Watch survey at Portland Bill yesterday. Atlantic bluefin tuna could be seen breaching throughout the survey. These incredible fish were absent from UK waters for many decades but are now frequently seen off the south coast during the autumn.

A pair of small blues seen mating yesterday at Lyscombe. A potential second brood in a few weeks time?
Exciting to find this species already doing well on the reserve, suitable habitat will increase significantly over the coming years 😀

It's a great view from the new Lookout overlooking the @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social Brownsea lagoon
#30DaysWild Day 4. The end of the day and an empty Lookout. A chance to sit for a bit and admire the view. Terns still madly busy, lots of oycs using the channels outside, swallows hunting across the water. Lovely! #WildBrownsea @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social
