🌿Studland Bay in Dorset, home to spiny & short-snouted seahorses, saw a record number last year when a drop in visiting boats allowed the seagrass to recover. But now extreme weather threatens this precious habitat, along with the seahorses that rely on it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Another quality evening at Brands Bay and Jerry’s Point with @edjbetteridge.bsky.social. Great to find a Little Stint among Ringo flock, and a juv Kittiwake in the bay. Also a presumed foreign colour ringed GBB Gull with metal ring on tibia, although frustratingly distant! @harbourbirds.bsky.social
