One of the largest Toads I think I've ever seen was a highlight of my BTO Heathland Bird Surveys last night on a quiet bog in Dorset. The surveys were made less quiet by the 18 Nightjar territories recorded in what seemed another super active evening on the heath! Amazing.

Thank you andy, the highest count of the year at the park. This number is still below the pre-avian flu levels for this population, with 52 of the Greylags being this year's goslings showing we have about 121 adults present. Dorset Wildlife Spot BCP Parklife Dorset Bird Club

I was great to undertake another annual roundup for the Poole Park Greylag Goose Study. An impressive catch of 134/173 birds, including a mix of new and retrap individuals. All birds handled, ringed and released with licences and permissions. Thank you to everyone involved!!!

Thomas You're welcome, I did also have another sighting last Tuesday 1st July when I took this picture which I was meaning to send. Yeah it's been fascinating to get some semi regular sightings.

Still 125 Greylags at the park after a few birds have moulted and left. Amazing to see the numbers decrease but never actually see them leave! Also good to see the juveniles starting to fly, not long before they go either. Dorset Bird Club Dorset Wildlife Spot BCP Parklife
