Fantastic photos as usual from Mark. Lovely little migrant raptors usually seen hunting Dragonflies and, if lucky, seen chasing hirundines.

Common Tern with sand eel at a very wet Lodmoor today

Stunning photo of the usually elusive Firecrest from Ian.

Drake Teal on Sherford Pools, my first of May, hopefully a sign of another breeding year at #LytchettFields

We've now added the previous issue of our thrice-yearly newsletter to the website so you can download it. Particularly recommended is the thoughtful piece by Liv Elwood (aka Liv Cooper previously) on birdwatchers' mindsets and attitudes.

Male 022 seems to be taking some time off this AM, chilling on the Middlebere Channel for a period this AM. It may also suggest another bird is about? Also a Long-eared Bat Sp wanted in on the action last night on another harbour platform cam Dorset Bird Club RSPB Arne and Weymouth Wetlands

The latest Newsletter is on its way to Club members, with articles on managing the Weymouth RSPB wetland reserves by David Morphew, identifying cormorants by Geoff Upton and much more. Plus a plug for our upcoming conference on Nature's Recovery, in Wimborne on 16th November
