phylengland.bsky.social @phylengland.bsky.social · 13/10/2025How beautiful.! This red squirrel on Brownsea was too busy extracting seeds from a cone to bother about who was watching him. 020 2
phylengland.bsky.social @phylengland.bsky.social · 14/09/2025Car park open all the time as cameras at entrance and you get ticket from machine when you leave. I would think weather good for sea watch but no expert . 000 0

phylengland.bsky.social @phylengland.bsky.social · 19/08/2025I must admit that although exciting that the eagles and ospreys were on Sunday’s Osprey Cruise ( BoPH), this was my favourite photo. This lovely juvenile Sandwich Tern watching the adults fishing will be leaving us soon 000 0
