While in the queue waiting for the Brownsea Island ferry, I watched these Sea Cadets bravely working on the rigging of their tall ship
First stop on the island was to see a Red Squirrel eating chestnuts on top of a sawn-off tree trunk
The tall ship with the Sea Cadets sailed round the edge of Brownsea Island lagoon while I was in a bird hide
Feisty Spoonbills were flying around and landing in the Tamarisk tree
The Brownsea Island ferry went past the Spoonbills in the lagoon
A few Spoonbills with lots of Oystercatchers in the distance
The boat that I travelled on during my Birds of Poole Harbour tour sailed past the Spoonbills
A few Curlews and a couple of Shelduck were standing around in the distance
The large group of Spoonbills flew to the far edge of the lagoon
The Lily Pond in the centre of the island
Interesting shapes on the carved wooden seats at either side of a swing in the woodland
Dredger working hard in the harbour
Pretty tree with some red leaves on the path at the southern end of the island
I watched a Pheasant ignoring the Brownsea Island tour bus
Then back to Red Squirrel watching!
Time to leave the island and I stared longingly at the holiday homes by the landing area
Great White Egret was fishing again near the landing stage
Goodbye Brownsea Island - I hope to visit again next year!
