Don't be the cause of a wildfire! ⚠️
There is an extreme risk of wildfires starting and spreading. If you are visiting the countryside, please follow this advice to reduce the risk of harm to people and nature.
Please share this message to keep people and wildlife safe.

Lovely to see Turlin Point undisturbed and providing an important winter roost for waders. Thanks to work by @BCPCouncil & @BirdsofBARI 🙏

There were Turnstones on the Hamworthy Groynes but while watching the Snow Bunting feeding nearby, a Purple Sandpiper appeared and soon joined them on the groyne. @harbourbirds @DorsetBirdClub #TwitterNatureCommunity

I thought this was a pipefish but can't decide if it's just a piece of weed? Whatever it is these second brood chicks aren't coping with it too well! #WildBrownsea @DWTBrownsea @DorsetWildlife @DorsetBirdClub @harbourbirds @BirdGuides @brownseaNT

And just like that, the terns have moved on from the nesting islands. Little egret, grey heron, redshank returning for the 'winter' (common sand calling last night too) #WildBrownsea @DWTBrownsea @DorsetWildlife @DorsetBirdClub @harbourbirds @BirdGuides @brownseaNT

Sandwich tern chicks everywhere! So wonderful to watch the chaos unfold as they all start flying more strongly and spreading out (followed by slightly anxious parents!) around the lagoon 😊🩵 #WildBrownsea @DWTBrownsea @DorsetWildlife @365DaysWild @harbourbirds @DorsetBirdClub

There have been a series of wildfires this week.
Our education team are visiting several schools next week across the BCP area with @dwfirerescue where they will talk to students about wildfire safety

Our Bird of the Month for March is the ringed plover. Some of these lovely birds are resident along our Solent coastlines all year round with a number of pairs attempting to breed along our shingle shores. Find out more: bit.ly/3m2Z0vR

Another 20 seconds of spring-like morning. The more gulls move in, the louder it gets. Such a great time of year 😊 #WildBrownsea @DWTBrownsea @DorsetWildlife @DorsetBirdClub @harbourbirds @BirdGuides @brownseaNT

Wigeon hit record levels in January - 2862 were counted by the @WeBS_UK counters in just 3 of the 4 sectors, meaning numbers must have been over 3000 in total! @harbourbirds @DorsetBirdClub @DorsetWildlife @_BTO @Natures_Voice @SightingDOR @WWTworldwide

If you see this at Rock Lea View #RSPBLytchettFields & wonder what it is ....it's a bracket for hide clamps, enables the of use a scope without bringing a tripod. Please enjoy using it & ask others to respect it. We will label it in the coming days. @harbourbirds @DorsetBirdClub
