On the phone trying to talk my 81 yr old technically challenged mum through reconnecting her iPad to the internet & then to FaceTime her. She is insistent she hasn’t got a WiFi symbol or a camera icon. Losing the will to live when she says I’ve got a fan and a hot water bottle 🤣

Another juv Nightjar ringed last night Careys Secret Garden ringing station, the 10th this week. Being in a river valley the site hosts feeding Nightjar every night, but this early in the season are they local juvs or are some from further afield already moving south? Dorset Bird Club

I used to film the wildlife in my garden at night all the time about 10 years ago. The other day I came across my old trailcam, so I put it out to see what was still wandering about 💚 #lovewhereIlive #lovedorset

Well done everyone. It's a takeover! ;)
