Glad we made the effort! Yesterday morning we went up and did a maintenance check and prepped the Osprey webcam…..yesterday evening a Raven came and hid x 2 chocolate bonbons in there!! 😂

I swear this is nothing to do with us….but remember the Raven that last month was ‘taking the biscuit’ by hiding 2 Bourbons in an Osprey nest. Well…now he’s ‘taking the doughnut’. Where is it getting this stuff from? 😂

It’s actually happened. Osprey chick ‘5H1’ fledged at 11:54 this AM, flying over the nest site for 15 minutes before landing expertly next to her Dad, quickly followed by CJ7 who chaperoned during her first flight . A magic moment

Today marks 37 days (average incubation period) since CJ7 laid her 1st egg so we're on tenterhooks! We've seen a definite increase in the attention they're paying to the eggs in the last 48hrs, including lots of checking and turning. Could they be hearing tiny sounds from within?

What a historic moment, and perhaps the most significant update of the project to date. Although not pin-sharp we're sure this is 5H1, the first wild-fledged Osprey of the new south coast population to return. What a great moment!

First proper look at newly hatched Poole Harbour Osprey chick, which emerged at 07:44 this morning. It hasn’t fed yet and has slept for most of the morning which is quite normal as they use a huge amount of energy to break out of the shell.

Well, we thought it may happen at some point and at 20:32 this evening it did as CJ7 laid a second unfertilised egg. She’s so bonded to that nest and ready to breed that we’re sure if any Male were to come along at this point she’d do her best to woo him
@timmackrill

Well this caught us all off guard. Female Osprey CJ7 laid a 4th egg at 19:15 this evening. This is a brilliant result. A four egg clutch is a scarce occurrence in Ospreys. Will they all hatch? Let’s hope so as there’s plenty of food!

The wind certainly isn't perturbing the Ospreys, with courtship behaviours stepping up a pace today. Sticks are being brought in by both 022 & the unringed female, and they have made two mating attempts! Seems like she is staying put for now...

Great to be working with Dorset Police

to help protect the Osprey nest. The nest area is incredibly sensitive & Ospreys are a Schedule 1 species meaning they're protected by law. We therefore insist folk don't attempt to get close to view or photograph the birds.

The Osprey chicks are now three weeks old. Can you believe how fast they've grown?! 022 and CJ7 are continuing to do a great job as first-time parents, and in just 4-5 weeks the chicks will (hopefully) be getting ready to fledge.

All too often we're still hearing 'Well, there's way too many Buzzard & Red Kite these days'
There are on average 75,200 pairs of Buzzard & 4200 pairs of Red Kite in the UK.
EACH YEAR 40-50 million gamebirds are released.
What would you say there's too many of?

The estate that Dorset Police refused to search after discovery of poisoned eagle is the same location where gamekeeper was today convicted of multiple raptor persecution crimes.

A now typical Poole Harbour scene from this AM, a cruising sail boat slowly ambling past a pair of White-tailed Eagles.

Great to witness this rare sight whilst setting up a sound recorder near Middlebere this AM. A male Adder courting a female on a sunny bank

Beavers now in Little Sea, Studland, Ospreys nesting here & White-tailed Eagles (hopefully) soon to be. Large landscape scale nature recovery projects in Purbeck & the RSPB Arne Moors wetland creation. Rewilded landscapes now underway. The next decade could be very interesting.

Not been much on the Osprey nest platforms this winter, so this gorgeous adult Peregrine on the Middlebere nest was a welcome site this morning

Busy ringing demo this evening. Not a long session as rain came in but 5 Woodcock, 3 Jack Snipe, 1 Common Snipe, 1 Meadow Pipit & 1 Redwing in 1.5 hours wasn’t too bad. Great team work with Stour Ringing Group. Jack Snipe (left), Woodcock (centre), Snipe (right)

talking about the first Osprey breeding attempt in nearly 200 years on the South Coast. Great to have the opportunity to share this momentous story.

Very pleased the Birds of Poole Harbour team are in London today supporting the Restore Nature Now March. Great to watch 3 Peregrines flying overhead while we ask the incumbent government to restore nature!

First fish of the season for male Osprey 022, a decent sized Flounder. Sounds like the un-ringed bird from this AM went fishing in Lytchett Bay.

Interesting photo from one of our trail cams this afternoon, with male 022 on a different harbour nest platform with what we think was the Osprey we saw from this AMs trip. He was soon back at his nest site with CJ7 delivering her fish after this

Guess who’s back! We had a brief visit on one of the other harbour platforms this AM from CJ7 at 11:11. Welcome back!

The oldest Osprey chicks are already 2 weeks old, and all three are rapidly losing their downy feathers, now showing pin feathers that will develop into their full juvenile plumage.

Get annoyed with the gulls around Poole? Just remember this...
