    As per Mike's post above
    Birds of Poole Harbour
    18 hrs · 

    This morning our camera trap on the Middlebere nest captured footage of an Osprey settling on the nest for 40 minutes. This was exciting in its self, but when we saw the ring and could just make out the lettering CJ7, it made our pulses rise.

    CJ7 is now a 4 year old female from Rutland who first burst onto the scene in August 2017 when she arrived into the harbour and spent a week feeding with and associating with our class of 2017 Osprey chicks.

    Last year (2018) she reappeared in the harbour and spent most of the summer on nest platforms around the RSPB Arne peninsular.

    Then, today April 2019)  at 08:43 she appeared on the Middlebere nest, freshly arrived from West Africa. This is the earliest she’s been back and clearly likes these nests.

    Come on males from 2017, we just need a few of you to show up now. Exciting times and game on!!!

    Sadly only those at Rutland. Details of their birds,apart from Manton Bay, are not published as a matter of policy.

    I think the last info we got from RW was 2015, which is probably where I got the details?

    I've emailed Rutland asking if they will provide any info in view of the potential.

    CJ 7 is listed on UK Ospreys site but no details other than Rutland female 2015. Info picked up rather than provided.
