  • Photo: Apex Buzzard

    Buzzard (Buteo buteo) atop a telegraph pole. Dorset, UK. Seen on the approach to the Arne entry road - not on the Reserve itself. Can anyone tell me whether buzzards are considered "apex" predators? I've never seen anything eat one!
  • Photo: Avocet City

    Avocets at the mouth of the Middlebere channel from Arne late in the afternoon. Poole Harbour, Dorset, UK. 12/01/11.
  • Photo: Avocet Pair

    Avocets on the Middlebere channel from Arne. Poole Harbour, Dorset, UK. 12/01/11. They drew steadily nearer to the shore as the light began to fade.

  • Photo: Barn Owl Remains

    Severed barn owl beak and feathers (Tyto alba). Dorset, UK. At least that's our best guess. Found near a fenceline in open fields on the Middlebere peninsula across from Arne. A peregrine kill maybe? Would a buzzard take an owl? Possibly the predator tore the beak off as a safety precaution...
  • Photo: Bright Young Sika

    White sika deer at Arne. 27/02/11.
  • Photo: Canada Geese at Middlebere

    A few hundred Geese in the field opposite the middleber channel down by the fence hide..
  • Photo: Coy in the Kale

    On the Winter Finch Trail. Taken on 17th December 2011.
  • Photo: Dunnock

    Catching the early morning sun. Magical.
  • Photo: Firecrest Fodder

    Firecrest (Regulus ignicapillus) feeding in holly tree. RSPB Arne, Dorset, UK. Unsurprisingly the UK's smallest bird feeds on something infinitesimally smaller still. In close-up it looks like insect larvae of some variety.
  • Photo: Frozen Firecrest

    Firecrest (Regulus ignicapillus) in holly tree. RSPB Arne car park, Dorset, UK. Extraordinary, busy little birds. Only an ultra-slow video sequence would do them justice, but that would also require the world's fastest cameraman.
  • Photo: Goldcrest

    A fleeting chance seized in the heart of the woodland. Taken mid-morning on Tursday, 11th January 2011.

    Taken mid-morning in the depth of the woodland. Tuesday, 11th January 2011.
