Poole (Dorset) peregrines have been very active in the higher nest box recently. Adult male and female spending considerable time at the box and the male recorded scraping. This year's juvenile male (HG) is still present. If he is still around in Mar/April will he help or hinder?...we'll see.

So Hayli Dubbi erupted for the first time since 12,000 years but what was it this #eruption was eye catching for me? It is a basaltic shield volcano which produced an explosive eruption.
Hayli Dubbi is a volcano which is located in a remote region of #Ethiopia, the Afar Depression.

An explosive #eruption of Hayli Gubbi #volcano, located SE of Erta'Ale in the Afar Rift (Ethiopia), began at ~08:30 UTC on Nov 23. Eruption onset was fortuitously captured by a @planet.com overpass at 08:31 UTC. Hayli Gubbi has no record of Holocene eruptions. Toulouse VAAC reporting ash to ~15 km.

Thanks Tim. @planet.com imagery from Nov 24 show some subsidence in the southern half of the Erta Ale caldera after the #HayliGubbi eruption (plus widespread ash deposits).

We think there was a small eruption there in July/August (at least a small plume) and some ongoing activity there since (including continued uplift). I suspect all linked to recent activity along dyke from Erta Ale (See COMET reports on July/August activity at comet.nerc.ac.uk/event-respon...).

Activity at Hayli Gubbi began in July when there was an eruption at Erte Ale. Magma propagated 30 km south passing under Hayli Gubbi. Since then, there has been a small plume, quasi-continuous SO2 emissions and uplift. Details in @uk-comet.bsky.social event response report: tinyurl.com/y3nfdfj8

The World Cup qualifiers are almost at an end now, just some playoffs to go. That was a good win for Scotland last night winning 4-2 against Denmark to secure automatic qualification and so they will join England in next year’s World Cup. I’d like to Wales and the 2 Irelands make it too via playoffs

This Snow Bunting turned up at Baiter Park today. A really confiding bird that will hopefully stick around for others to see, like the one last year on Hamworthy Beach.

3 large flocks of birds (Woodpigeons) were airborne this morning and all seemed to be flying in the same direction. This one here (the third flock I seen) was flying parallel over the Dorset Way.
