Nice shots Shaun,I did OK with a bridge camera as well.👍

Same as when I was there then, one guy on a Seat in the middle of the path and 5 on the grass verge, one was putting out the odd wax moth caterpillar to entice it down for their ultra long lenses.

I hope you still got good views.
Was food being put down?

Saw my first House Martin over Spetisbury meadows yesterday.👍

I had a walk around from the small car park a few days ago, linnets, Corn Bunting and Yellow Hammer seen but none in the open so just twig and branch shots!

Great to see them both back again, let's hope the other pair arrive safely too.🤞

The three remaining Glossy Ibis on Wareham Common just before a Great White Egret joined them.

They have been around here since the middle of September, I wonder for how much longer.

You have caught up with them at last! Were all 10 there Martin?
