I recently learned about 'buzz pollination'. Some flowers release a burst of pollen in response to the buzzing of a bee. Or a toothbrush

There are lots of Jersey Tigers in SE Holes Bay, Poole. I love the startling orange when they take off!

Not sure who these wings belonged to before a peregrine got them. Could it be an avocet?? @dorsetraptors.bsky.social @martinadams1.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social

The Jersey Tigers are back at Holes Bay, appearing daily in the shrubbery by Poole travelodge. 25 counted this evening!

Even a hummingbird hawk moth needed a rest in today's heat! I caught one taking a very short break at the Scott Arms in Kingston, and who can blame it

Pleased to see the pyramidal orchids at the back of Poole hospital are still hanging on, despite now being on a building site

Any ideas on ID for these feet spotted below the Poole peregrine tower? We're thinking maybe little grebe?? @martinadams1.bsky.social @dorsetraptors.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social

We saw so many other lovely things at Knepp, including white admirals, purple hairstreaks, damselflies. Have to confess most were spotted by my partner @marikowhyte !

We've had a wonderful few days camping at Knepp. A highlight was this magical moment with a purple emperor (uncropped phone pic!), at the edge of a muddy pond!

We arrived at Knepp just in time to see the first purple emperor butterflies. We spotted eight today!

@dorsetraptors.bsky.social currently a juvenile on the roof of Adsa's goods entrance. Seems ok but not a great place to be because they have lots of netting and an electric fence that I've seen kill a gull. Seems to have a clear route out though @martinadams1.bsky.social

The four little peregrines in Poole look settled in for the night. Quite a bit of noise and flapping going on though

One of the Poole peregrines had definitely fledged last night. Not there this morning though @dorsetraptors.bsky.social @martinadams1.bsky.social

Yep, on this low RNLI building where they've been before. I suspect there might be another nest on one of the car dealerships along there, but can't confirm

Just checking up on the Poole peregrines. I can see two juveniles up on the roof. None on any surrounding roofs or balconies. Plenty of gull chicks though, and even some oystercatchers! @dorsetraptors.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social @martinadams1.bsky.social
