How would the RSPB make money if they put a car park there? Only interested in the ££££.

That’s if the Sunnyside car park is open, Steve. Quite often when I go past of a weekend (morning & then back at lunchtime) it’s still locked.

N.Haven this morning 65 Shag (14 juv) in, 21 Pied Wag, 6 Sandwich Tern, 1 Turnstone, 1 C. Scoter out around 7.35. Plus Merlin chased by 2 Crows from Studland into the bay over the houseboats and out into the harbour. Always distant but size and flight would suggest Merlin. @harbourbirds.bsky.social

I especially like the ‘blurred heathland vegetation in the background’.

Relatively clean water in PCW Drain this morning until a discharge from the sewage works. Not sure that looks like treated water. Before & after photos attached.

More than 100 Eurasian Stone-curlews have fledged from an RSPB nature reserve in Wiltshire since a former farm was transformed into a haven for the rare breeding bird 20 years ago:

To be fair, celebrated might be a bit of a strong description but the growth in numbers of followers was certainly highlighted.

As a previous‘helper’ on the DBC X account, I can safely say that quantity was certainly celebrated. Not too sure how you check for quality!

Perry, I don’t disagree with you but I also don’t see the need to denigrate those that choose to view already found birds.

I seem to remember a few ‘train spotting’ Portland birders in Poole Park for the already known about Forster’s Tern last year. Why the superior attitude towards those who choose to view already found birds. Each to their own.
