Hey folks – the Club is run entirely by volunteers. We need new people to keep it alive and kicking! Our many followers on social media clearly value it. Membership's great value at £20 a year, but it’s not just your money we’re after – we need your unique input and contribution.

@harbourbirds @timmackrill @RoyDennisWF @DorsetBirdClub I remember that day!

[Birds of Poole Harbour @harbourbirds]

On this day 7 years ago, we brought down our first batch of Osprey chicks from Scotland thanks to @timmackrill & @RoyDennisWF . Between us, we had no idea what journey lay ahead. Five years later we had the first breeding & this summer a family of 6!! @DorsetBirdClub
