Brownsea Island (Poole Harbour)

Haven't been for about four years so as it was a (warmish) sunny day we went over to Brownsea via Studland, hopefully to see some Red Squirrels and birds, which we did.

Smashing Strongy Willow & I have got National Crust membership now & are planning a trip there soon.

How much does the ferry cost?

 

Lovely pictures Strongy and Oystercatchers are my favourite sea birds.

 

Ziggy, the (foot) ferry from Studland to Sandbanks is free going and £1return. You can park free in the NT car park there. Ferry to Brownsea is £5.75 return, last one back 5.00pm
Just for you Sheal.







Have another Sandwich on me.

 

Thanks Strongy, they are such lively birds and I like their call as well. I went down to my local beach a few weeks back with my camera just to take shots of the Oystercatchers and typically there wasn't one in sight!

 

Cheers for that Strongy

 

When I lived in Poole we used to sail round the harbour and land on the island for free! Happy days.
