Been monitoring a Mandarin nest near Wimborne, was pleased to capture the amazing moment (be it not the best quality) 9 little ducklings went bounce, bounce, bounce! They really do enter the world with quite some thud! Dorset Bird Club BBC Springwatch Sam Lloyd Dr Jenny Coomes

The last blue tit chicks of the year in the SRG boxes. Ringed a little while ago with Sam Lloyd One great tit nest left to fledge. In the midst of nest checks I lament that I have no time but it's gone in a flash and all over for another year. BTO #nestrecording

An amazing morning spent at Careys Secret Garden on the Osprey tour. Thank you Birds of Poole Harbour it was magic 🤍🐟🦅

Feeder cam up and running ready for today’s maths lesson… how many Goldfinches can you see? Great resource for early years counting, subitising AND learning their birds 💚#pamphillfirstschool Birds of Poole Harbour Dorset Bird Club @EYFSF

We had a brilliant discussion this morning in Wareham with a bunch of people who'd agreed to help us think about the future of the Bird Club and making it fit for the future. What we do, we do OK but it's not enough to attract a younger, more diverse membership and volunteers.

The Mandarin has flegded, was again lucky enough to capture most of the fledging on trailcam. They certainly do come into the world with a thud! 18 days earlier than last year, 10 from 11 fledged, last year was 9 from 10. Dorset Bird Club BTO BBC Springwatch
