Absolutely blown away to see my first male Hen Harrier on Portland. After three days, it finally flew a little closer this morning, before possibly leaving early afternoon. Safe travels🤞

Some of the Golden Plover from yesterday at Lodmoor, I did hear that someone said there was about 5-600 here

Made up to see and capture some pics of this Red Breasted Flycatcher thanks everyone for putting it out ⁦Portland Bird Observatory⁩ and I guess ⁦Mark⁩ for finding it well done mate 👍

I never expected to see this Common Blue Butterfly yesterday on our walk around Portland by the coastguard lookout on the Bill

We've been robbed. All the BoA equipment was stolen overnight. We're going public 'cos it's specialist gear and we want to make it as hard as possible for the thieves to sell it. We've no idea when normal service will be resumed 😥

Wow I never thought would be lucky enough to see a White Tailed Eagle from my garden, well I just did here in Wyke Regis Weymouth, many thanks to Bob Ford for putting it on the WhatsApp group 👍👍

My 1st Whitethroat of the year today at RSPB Lodmoor #dorsetbirdclub
