It's hard to believe, but my third season volunteering on the DWT Brownsea reserve has ended for the year. This time there are no planned Winter Members Days to support. Myself & three of the other volunteers, Carrie, Linda & David, were just putting the walkie-talkies back on their charging units at the end of the afternoon, when I looked through the window & saw a Firecrest. I pointed it out to the others. We saw it briefly, before it moved out of view. Heading outside, it was still feeding by the window area & provided a nice ending to the season on the island.
Firecrest: It was a species that Carrie & Linda hadn't seen before, so it was a nice ending to their season as well
