What a fabulous morning for the official Lookout opening event! 🩡 #WildBrownsea @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social

That time of year when it's warm enough to sit outside as the sun goes down but cool enough that there's no mozzies πŸ€­πŸ˜… #WildBrownsea

It's not all wildlife and scenic shots... today's delivery, new tanks for the island sewage treatment plant, which should improve the efficiency of the system for years to come #WildBrownsea

The moth trap is out... what will we get? 🀞🀞 #WildBrownsea @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social

Tern Hide causeway is nearly done! It's been a busy winter #WildBrownsea @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social

Good to be home after a few days away πŸ©΅πŸŒ™πŸ™ #WildBrownsea

Winter tasks: preparing the tern nesting islands for the arrival of the common and Sandwich tern colonies in the spring. Hard work but good fun! ##WildBrownsea

Apparently covid isn't quite prepared to release its grip yet so just a short walk this morning before I returned wheezing to my flat πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ Beautiful though, and good to see the Sandbanks chain ferry on her way back to her spot 🩡 #WildBrownsea

Gorgeous things 🩡

Testing, testing... it seems videos either won't upload at all, or upload then say failed to process before I can post them. Will this one work? #WildBrownsea

Having issues uploading video on here... it keeps telling me there is an error in upload? Anyone else?

I love this time of year #Autumn #WildBrownsea πŸπŸ‚πŸ§‘

False turkey tail (stereum hirsutum) ... showing exactly how it got it's Latin name. Hairy little dudes! #WildBrownsea πŸ„
