It's getting to that time of year again, so what could be better than to head over to Lesley's Etsy shop. www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Saul... New charity card designs this year from sea glass found on English beaches. As well as cards there is lots of other good stuff made by Lesley too.
A Sparrowhawk invited one of the local doves to dinner in our garden yesterday evening. Don't think the dove enjoyed the experience @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social
In January '25 I was privileged to see this very confiding Snow Bunting in Hamworthy Park @harbourbirds.bsky.social
First train of our Norwegian adventure (airport express was a bus replacement because of a power failure!)
Great to spot a lone puffin at Dancing Ledge on Saturday. So rare to see on the Dorset coast now @harbourbirds.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social
By popular request our famous Teddy Tombola is back today at BBQ on the Green in Sturminster Marshall. In aid of the Liz Clarke-Saul fund for #adamantinoma Research with @bcrt-uk.bsky.social #cancersucks #untiltheresacure
New funding has been awarded to Dr Mónica Pascual-García from Universitat de Barcelona aiming to develop effective treatments that help re-educate immune cells to fight osteosarcoma cells and stop them from spreading. Read more: https://ow.ly/667R50XW4mb
Today is #WorldCancerDay, a day where we come together to raise awareness worldwide of the impact cancer has. Each year, thousands of people are diagnosed with primary bone cancer around the world, and their voices deserve to be heard 🧡 Please share this post to raise more awareness.
Just one Snipe at Hatch Pond this afternoon in fading light. But there was a nice Little Egret preening and a Common Buzzard perched outside the #Honeywell offices! @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social
Visit to Bramble Bush Bay today yielded terrific views of a Great Northern Diver (plus crab!) @harbourbirds.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social
Our local fox has forsaken its earth and has taken to roosting in the trees at the bottom of our garden! @chrisgpackham.bsky.social #FoxOfTheDay
Set off from Slade Green to walk back to our base near the Dartford Crossing on our #sourcetosea walk along the Thames. Storm Benjamin was forecast to give high winds and heavy rain but in the end it was fairly dry and just quite blustery - had much worse on the @southwestcoastpath.bsky.social
Back again for the final part of our walk from #sourcetosea Definitely getting to the gritty end of the river. Lots of semi-derelict industry and certainly no gentrification once we left Woolwich Arsenal behind. @thamespathnt.bsky.social
Lewis was diagnosed with adamantinoma in his shinbone at just 8 years old. For #BoneCancerAwarenessWeek, he shares his powerful story to raise life-changing awareness of the signs & symptoms 🎗️ Visit: ow.ly/4wEJ50X5J4N @letsbewheel.bsky.social #CouldItBeBoneCancer #Awareness #UntilTheresACure
Osprey caught big fish near Turlin Moor about 16:00 and flew off over Holten Lee. Also Marsh Harrier quartering over railway embankment. Both seen from Rock Lea viewpoint @harbourbirds.bsky.social #lytchettbay #dorsetbirds @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social
Slightly (but only just!) better photos of this morning's Osprey/Eagle encounter. Someone might be able to tell what sort of fish was the unfortunate third party! @harbourbirds.bsky.social @ukoi.bsky.social
Alison Copland@alisoncopland.bsky.social · last yr.Osprey (possibly female CJ7) caught huge fish in the Wareham Channel only to be forced to drop it by a fast-moving White-tailed Eagle (probably male G463). Seen from this morning's excellent @harbourbirds.bsky.social Osprey Cruise. @ukoi.bsky.social 2/2
After our @thamespathnt.bsky.social walk we had a day at the London Wetlands Centre operated by @wwtworldwide.bsky.social Super chuffed to spot this Bittern lurking in the reeds. Not the greatest of shots but it was hot and we were over 300m from the bird @btobirds.bsky.social
Our final day of our walk #sourcetosea of the River Thames. Set off from London Bridge and soon reached Tower Bridge - the final above ground crossing before the one at Dartford if you ignore the cable car at Greenwich, such a change from yesterday.
After a break of several months to concentrate on other things Lesley and I are back for one last push to complete our walk from #sourcetosea as far as the #thamesbarrier Picked up at Hammersmith Bridge and from then there were so many bridges! Totally lost count. The stand-out was Albert Bridge.
Happy International Left Handers Day to all of the lovely Left Handed people in the world. #InternationalLeftHandersDay #LeftHandersDay #LeftHanded

End of our walk for now. Bridges came thick and fast today-Kew, Chiswick, Barnes, Hammersmith. Very obscure diversion because of the problems at Kew with lots of incorrect signage-just follow your nose! Interesting to see the junction of the Grand Union with the river. @thamespathnt.bsky.social
Walked from Walton on Thames to Teddington Lock today as we continue our walk #fromsourcetosea. passing a fascinating array of riverside dwellings. Nice to see #hamptoncourt in the sunshine @thamespathnt.bsky.social
Walked from Old Windsor to Walton on Thames today, passing a fascinating array of riverside dwellings. Best bit was the Shepperton-Weybridge ferry. Shame the lock keepers don't maintain the same standards as in the upper river. So industrial and not a flower in sight @thamespathnt.bsky.social
