On the water there were a good number of ducks incl. Wigeon, Teal and Pintail; plus Brent Geese and a group of eight Red-breasted Merganser in the channel by Town Quay. (2/2) @ntisleofwight
Nice collection of waders at Newtown NNR, #IsleOfWight today; pushed onto the nearby mudflats during the high tide incl. Dunlin, Grey Plover, Knot, Turnstone, Curlew and Oystercatcher. Plenty of pipits around the boardwalk and boathouse too. (1/2) @ntisleofwight
@AdamHuttly @GreenEUJournal @floragraham Thank you very much, Adam! 🙂
Not quite what I was expecting to record for this year’s @Natures_Voice #BigGardenBirdWatch. Anyone on the #IsleofWight lost a pet?
A percentage of all sales goes towards the work of the reserve so this is a great opportunity to visit, buy a Christmas present or two and support the great @WarnhamFriends.
My artwork is now on display @WarnhamLNR with everything available to buy, incl. original pieces, framed or mounted prints and a host of cards. All items are reduced (many half price) but be quick; a lovely visitor snapped up two prints before I could get them on the wall! 😆
@CloughBarry @WarnhamLNR @WarnhamFriends Great stuff, Barry. 👍
I will be holding an exhibition of my bird studies throughout December @WarnhamLNR. All work will be available to buy with some fantastic discounts and special offers so I do hope you’ll be able to pop along. The perfect opportunity to pick up a Christmas gift! @WarnhamFriends
I’m growing to love Yarmouth as a quick-stop birding location here on the #IsleofWight. Five minutes down the road from me and a wander around the town never disappoints; with a harbour, estuary and beach all within a stone’s throw of the ferry terminal.
Really looking forward to helping run this free event next week. Budding artists of all ages welcome so come down to Compton Bay and have a go!
Pop down to #ComptonBeach this Tue (25 Oct) or Fri (28 Oct) & use the colours that surround you to create free art (11am-3pm). Using Compton's very own Mesozoic mudstones for paint, let your imagination run wild as you put brush to paper. See bit.ly/3z1aW81 for more.
Somewhat delighted to find a Dartford Warbler waiting for me on The Needles Headland as I arrived for my shift today! @needlesbattery @IsleofWightNT @nationaltrust #IsleofWight
@chloebysea @IsleofWightNT @nationaltrust Thank you, Chloe!
I’ve been a bit absent from Twitter whilst settling in on the gorgeous #IsleofWight but I’ve spent a fantastic summer season working with @IsleofWightNT at some stunning locations; the beautiful Newtown NNR providing my first close encounter with a Red Squirrel. @nationaltrust
The view of The Needles is one reason to visit @needlesbattery but during shifts I’ve been keeping an eye on the wildlife inc. Wheatear, Rock Pipit, Weasel, Dolphin and Rose Chafer. I’ve looked Peregrines in the eye and even had a grounded Pied Flycatcher in a near whiteout!
Another @IsleofWightNT site that I’ve grown to love is Compton Bay. A stunning coastline with a stretch of beach abundant in dinosaur footprints and fossils. Thanks so much to Megan @IOWFossils for helping to broaden my knowledge over the summer and show me what to look for!
@SherylTipton Thank you, Sheryl, it’s absolutely stunning here!
First target species acquired since arriving on the #IsleofWight (and my first day out after the chaos of moving): Glanville Fritillary. It was a glorious sunny day and the perfect conditions to locate one. Now, where are those Red Squirrels? @HantsIWWildlife @IsleofWightNT
@CloughBarry @HOSbirding @HantsIWWildlife @IsleofWightNT Cheers, Barry!
‘Why so quiet on the birding front?’ you ask, ‘haven’t seen you out for a while.’ Well, I’ve spent the last few months preparing for a big move and I’m looking forward to exploring my new #IsleofWight patch in a couple of weeks time! @HOSbirding @HantsIWWildlife @IsleofWightNT
