Great advice from Dawn. DBC members, checkout our forthcoming e-bulletin for information to help you do this. 🙏

At this time of year when I'm out birding I really try to make an effort to add breeding evidence to my records. It's really quick and easy in @BirdTrack and adds value to my records, especially for @ukrbbp species. Added P for pair in suitable habitat. Good practice for atlas!

The final reveal of the Biater Park mural is here!
We worked with talented students from Arts University Bournemouth to design and paint the toilet block, taking it from drab to fab 👌
Watch to the end for the final reveal, which includes some iconic birds found at Baiter Park.

Even though more common now I still get excited seeing Med Gulls, so was buzzing when we just stumbled across a bumper flock of c330 in a random field SE of Dorchester (along A352)!

Great views of this stunning adult LITTLE GULL in Holes Bay this afternoon. Also a distant 1st winter amongst 7 species of Gulls present. @DorsetBirdClub

We got lucky with the Wyke Regis Desert Wheatear this afternoon in strong winds when it flew across the fleet whilst watching roosting Gulls. It then showed distantly on Chesil Beach before disappearing amongst the pebbles. A cr Oyc from Blakeney Point (8/25) showed a bit better.

Didn’t expect to have a very vocal LAUGHING GULL fly around above me whilst I went to ring gull chicks on the Calf of Man this afternoon!! The bird stayed around just long enough for others to get there and bring a camera before it headed high north!

A successful attempt at dazzling the Eider on the Calf of Man last night produced 7 new birds including 4 rather smart drakes!!!

A partially leucistic Ring Ouzel was new in this morning on the Calf of Man with a Black Redstart at the lighthouses and the start of the Greenland Wheatear passage with a handful of birds around recently.

My first week on the Calf of Man has come to an end. Some Wheatears, Chiffs and Sand Martins trickling through with the island 16th Red Kite, the first Water Rail to be ringed since 2019 and the first recapture of a Great Tit from 2017 the highlights @CalfObs
