Autumn sessions @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social rewilding site, Wild Woodbury, have been excellent so far this Autumn. Quieter today, but 44 birds of 17 species gave a nice variety. @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

What better way to spend #worldrewildingday than at the final day of @rewildingbritain.org.uk conference in Dorset. A great three days visiting @harbourbirds.bsky.social, @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social, and @nationaltrust.bsky.social, before a day discussing how we can accelerate rewilding in the UK.

A fantastic evening having the chance to catch and show some Common and Jack Snipe live on @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social as part of Stour Ringing Group. Lovely to meet @iolowilliams.bsky.social and all the amazing team who put the show together too.

Over 800 birds ringed at Wild Woodbury #rewilding site so far this year, with some highlights below. Increases in both resident and migratory species, and a few rarer species picked up too, all show an encouraging increase in species abundance and diversity. @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

As part of my role as Species Survival Project Manager, I’ve written a short blog about species loss in the UK, and how the Species Survival Fund will be working towards increasing species abundance across Dorset. 👉 bit.ly/3yLtvjD
