This Mediterranean Gull, seen on Monday in Shell Bay was ringed ‘PUN1’. It’s 9-years old, originally ringed in Poland! It’s since been seen at Studland almost every winter, but has also been to Suffolk, Belgium, back in Poland and the Netherlands. @btobirds.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

The rosettes of Pyramidal Orchids appearing in Clayton Meadow. Soon they will be harder to spot as the grass starts to grow longer. #orchids #pyramidal #wildflowers #meadows #rosettes #DorsetWildlife #DorsetNature #Purbeck

That helps to explain the low Wigeon count in Brands Bay this PM. Perhaps they are more wary on daytime low tides due to recent shooting incidents at the Rempstone side of Brands Bay @dbirder.bsky.social
