Plus the flyover Glossy Ibis which one of my colleagues saw. It came from Sandbanks & flew over further into the harbour without stopping. Presumably a new arrival

Peregrine, Sparrowhawk & Red kite all drifted over my house at the same time. #dorsetbirds #ukbirding

Far more interesting and frustrating a Glossy Ibis flew over Brownsea just before the Sea-eagle
I wasnt in the hides at that point so missed the Ibis

A subadult Sea-eagle on the back of the @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social Brownsea lagoon now

Redshank in Holes Bay today #p1000 #birdphotography #birdwatching #dorsetbirds #birds #dorsetwildlife

The sole highlight of a brief stop at Silverlake was a flock of 10 Goosanders - all ‘brownheads’. Disappointingly, nothing of note in the now-sizeable gull flock. Even more disappointing were the crazy numbers of non-native geese (>1000?). An unwelcome trend, IMHO.

Great views of the Kingfishers this afternoon #nikonp1000 #birdwatching #birdphotography #dorsetbirds #kingfisher #birds #wildlife #dorsetwildlife

The Juv Barred Warbler re-trapped this morning at Crown Estate Field @portlandbirdobs.bsky.social #UKBirding #DorsetBirds

Forgot there was also a showy Grasshopper Warbler at St Aldhelms this morning, that is until I raised the camera & it disappeared back into the bush
