We spotted this one-legged black-tailed godwit last winter feeding along the shoreline in Poole Harbour and have thought about it so many times since. The tenacity and will to live is incredible!. Keeping our fingers crossed for its continued survival, and return this winter π€

We made it to the top spot! Brent geese are familiar to a lot of people around Poole Harbour, and their migrations are incredible! We'll miss them over summer whilst they're in Arctic Siberia for their breeding season, but we can't wait for their arrival at the start of winter π

We keep things pretty light at BARI, but the reality for birds can be harsh. Life in the wild is no easy task!. Seeing this bird persevering was inspiring and really shows why giving birds space to feed undisturbed is important when they already have so much working against them.
