Part of the island is administered by the Dorset Wildlife Trust and this is the part of the island where I get all of my shots At this time of year you may be lucky enough to get a few brief sightings but I have found the best time is the autumn when they are out and actively forraging. This shot is one of many I took during two visits last October when my wife and i sat, watched and shot them over a period of a couple of hours as they raided the bird feeders and peanuts we had placed in various places to encourage them. It really was a constant stream and i have never had such good sessions either before or since

Plenty of Peacocks though...

yes on the main part of the island and shots of the males displaying are good at the moment

subject to the sun, its well worth a vist, particularly to the Macdonald Hide on the reserve, where the sandwich and common terns are nesting at the moment on the islands in front of the hide - plenty of opportunity to shoot them as they return with sand eels in beak - I will start a thread with one from a couple of weeks back
