      A few hours on Brownsea Island again to see the Terns, they have only just started nesting or in some cases not even nesting yet!

                    @strongylodon Did your rose chafer beetles misread the labels? Those are rock roses (cistus) and not roses! :snorky:

                      At the beginning of this month I took some bad photos of the blackbird nest and the babies outside my office window. They flew the nest only that week and we have now had another set of tenants that have been there a week.

                      Do the same blackbirds reoccupy the same nest so quickly? I think the female is on some eggs.

                        Shiney I think they do because we have one conifer up the corner and it's got a few families of black birds and they're always in it all year through :)
