30 Oct 24 - Last Knockings On Brownsea

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: They are a species I seen regularly around Purbeck. But I never tire of seeing them
Firecrest: It was a species that Carrie & Linda hadn't seen before, so it was a nice ending to their season as well
