...also on the ringing front: we've received notification of a fantastic recovery of a Firecrest ringed here last October that was controlled a few days ago by a ringer in the Czech Republic - the first movement of a UK-ringed Firecrest to the Czech Republic or indeed to anywhere in central Europe

This male blackcap was so busy eating blackberries at Durlston yesterday that it totally ignored my presence a few feet away. ~ Hamish

Couple of hours at Lytchett Fields eventually produced the goods. Three Spotted Redshank- the first I have seen for 11 days - and pretty much my favourite regulars (and always great to show visitors!).

@dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social A not so good video of the Goldeneye at Longham Lakes this afternoon of the 6th October 2025. I'M wondering whether this is an eclipse male, though I did not see any round white patch forming at the base of the bill.
