My faithful old Canon SX70 appears to have bitten the dust. An ’err60’ message and a horrible clunking sound, which I think means the gearing has gone. Any advice on a replacement? I suspect the answer might be the Nikon P950, but any advice happily received. Cheers!

Once down to a single pair. Conservationists rescued them from oblivion. The flock is now 350 strong. New Zealand’s karure, or black robin, has been crowned the country’s 2026 Bird of the Year. cnn.it/4rqzZeL

Short-billed Dowitcher, adult in moult at Drift Res this afternoon (14th Sept). Delighted to find it but will admit that was a difficult id in this plumage. Thanks to Killian Mullarney for confirming id.

Wood Sand on Sunnyside scrape. Pretty tricky to see - favouring the southern end of the open water; often obscured by intervening veg. Also Green Sand. @harbourbirds.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social

Had an interesting ask from @bexbirder.bsky.social to help with catching some juv Little Grebe that were living on a pool that is rapidly drying out. Drought it pretty serious when you can't fly, walk and need to be on water! Thankfully we got one thanks to lots of muddy helpers as well some luck.

An incredible spectacle above Rodden Hive this morning. 10's of millions of Bug nymphs pouring along the ground, I'm not exaggerating the numbers either, I've never seen anything like it. Right across the field and paths. I really don't know what species they are though! @britishbugs.bsky.social
