Work has begun on the new tern islands in the lagoon... birds totally unbothered...redshank feeding on the freshly turned mud while the digger was working! 🤷♀️ #WildBrownsea @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social

Plenty of brents calling this morning, at least a dozen spoonies, redshank and curlew very vocal. Big flocks of tits, goldcrest and chaffinch. Siskin and redwing overhead. Busy autumnal morning! 🍂🕸 #WildBrownsea @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social

Huge gull roost on Brownsea this evening. At least 2500 maybe more. 90% herring, but a couple of hundred gbbg and a few lbbg too. Wonderful sight! #WildBrownsea @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

Early start and running for the first boat but still managed to pick up a small flock of redwing over Church Field and the castle grounds. Good start to the day 😊 #WildBrownsea @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

A slightly murky day today, but a flock of 20 or so crossbill and then half a dozen redwing over the north of the island cheered it up. Reports if 2 lapwing on the lagoon too 😊 #WildBrownsea @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social

Gutting to see our regular group of 100+ spoonbill have all been flushed by kite surfers out of bounds in the harbour this afternoon and haven't returned. Really hoping they decide to come back tomorrow #WildBrownsea @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social
