My favourite shore #BirdOfTheDay at the moment is the pair of White tailed Eagles that are visiting Mudeford Bay, not sure why but they appear to prefer weekends.

My #BirdOfTheDay looking up is a Nuthatch taken from the hide at Blashford Lakes. Anyone who's been there will know how hard it is to get the only seat with a window that opens #p1000 #birds #dorsetwildlife #birdphotography

On the day we had Bee-eaters in the nets at Antikythira, Alan and Trevor also caught Turtle Doves, Hoopoe and a juvenile Pallid Harrier in a net specifically designed by Trevor to capture birds of prey. #p1000 #birdwatching #birds #wildlife #birdringing

When the late Trevor Squire was alive, I was lucky enough to join his team for an evening ringing session of Nightjars on the Dorset heaths. Enjoyable memories #nightjar #birds #wildlife #birding #bto

A large group of Lapwings and Black-tailed Godwits all took to the air together at Mudeford Bay, Christchurch, last weekend. They barely moved when two White-tailed Eagles arrived, but when a Peregrine flew over, all hell broke loose! #birdphotography #birds #dorsetwildlife #Godwits #lapwings

The young male White tailed Eagle this morning at Mudeford, quite a distant photo but you can just about see a square lump of feathers in the middle of his back, where the satellite tracker is mounted on a harness #p1000 #birdwatching #birds #eagles #birdsofprey #Mudeford #dorsetwildlife

The young male White tailed Eagle at Mudeford Bay Christchurch this morning, it doesn't look like it from this photo but when he was flying he's almost moulted into a complete white tail. Maybe full adult plumage by next Spring #p1000 #birdwatching #birds #eagles
