The Poole Harbour Translocation Thread for 2019 - 2020

Hi Sheila. You’re right about her gender and being unringed. I’m not aware she was seen last year. She was around for about ten days in early May and has just returned. She has a chunky beak, hence the nickname!

LOL, poor lady! But she is good for the project!

Here is the second instalment of the podcast about this year's translocated chicks.

Wow, thank you very much for posting this link Alison. I've just listened to both podcasts and look forward to more. Fascinating insight into the world of tree climbers, ringers, translocation projects etc. Just great!

Only just managed to listen to the fist podcast and thought it really interesting and enjoyable I had never heard that syatistic before that for evey year that birds don't breed after they have reached the appropriate there is a 10% incease risk of them being lost on migration!

I think that is slightly misleading. Any adult bird has a 10% chance of failing to return.  In other words they are saying ospreys have a finite number of chances to breed. 

Oh Thanks for that TIGER

A second 2017 male, LS3, has returned to the harbour! Yes!!!
