We’ll do a longer blog soon we promise! But the last few days have been a bit full on, getting our new arrivals all settled in and our set up running smoothly. So in the mean time, just enjoy this screen grab taken today from our CCTV monitoring system, which shows two of our birds happy and settled into their temporary new homes. All 8 have been feeding well again today and already some are beginning to wing-flap quite hard.

Sightings from today included the first juv Willow Warbler of the autumn ringed in Poole harbour north with this surely the first of many thousands over the coming weeks to push through the harbour. At Lytchett Fields the 6 Spoonbill were on French’s Pools and there were 2 Dunlin, 4 Common Sandpiper, 1 Greenshank and 1 Whimbrel. On Brownsea there were 3+ Roseate Tern which were viewable on one of our Brownsea Webcams.
