Before the Forster's Tern, I spent a fabulous 3 hours on a Birds of Poole Harbour Spring Safari boat trip around Poole Harbour. Thoroughly recommend it. 2 White-tailed Eagle and over 40 species of bird in total. Loved it. #UKBirding #Birds #Dorset #Poole #nature #wildlife

Forster's Tern Holes Bay, Poole #Dorset (see last post for video) earlier today.
Thanks to some great detective work by mate Dave B (asking a local where we could view a distant flock of Tern), we ended up not 60 feet away from the fabulous Forster's Tern in Holes Bay, Poole, #Dorset. Even I could not mess the video up!!!

If you're ever down in #Devon a walk around the fields of Stantyway Farm, in the Spring sunshine, is a good way to spend a morning... Cirl Bunting, Brown Hare and Red-legged Partridge ... worth a few moments of your time (promise). #UKBirds #nature #wildlife #BirdsofMastodon #MammalsofMastodon #Hare #ukbirding
Stantyway Farm, Devon - Cirl Bunting, Brown Hare & Red-legged Partridge; what a place!
OccasionalDucksHaving reported a colour ring sighting for the first time last weekend, I wonder if anyone can tell me typical response/ acknowledgement times? I can easily imagine it being a week or so and appreciate it probably varies a lot between projects/ record keepers…

A different but very enjoyable day out with two of the many birding Daves from Exeter. Highlights were a beautiful Brambling, 3 Yellowhammer and many Siskin (all in the video) along with prolonged views of a Marsh Harrier and a White-fronted Goose (Euro. / Russian) on Exminster Marshes. #UKBirding #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #Devon
