Wildlife, birds and nature on Brownsea Island - mid-October 2024

Little Egret on seaweed-covered rocks at the entrance to Brownsea Island

Inquisitive Red Squirrel blending in with the fallen leaves

Peacock perching on a fallen log

Shy Peacock!

Red Squirrels carrying chestnuts in their mouths


There was a selection of fungi on the island


Avocets in flight above the lagoon

Wading Greenshank

Greenshank and sleeping Avocet

Group of Spoonbills at the back of the lagoon


Passing Wigeon

A yacht sailed past the Spoonbills behind the wall at the edge of the lagoon

Female Pheasant hiding in shrubbery

Autumn foliage in the woodland

Looking down at the Spoonbills in the lagoon with Poole Harbour on the other side of the wall

I received a close-up inspection from one of the two Peacocks that live on the island

A lovely Sika deer was lurking in the woodland - first time I have managed to see one of these


More fungi on a tree trunk

The island's two Peacocks were together in the woodland
