The Poole Harbour Translocation Thread for 2019 - 2020

Thanks, Alison.  Glad to hear the fledged birds are checked on so frequently.  And here I thought all you did was feed them!  What other things do volunteers get up to?  Or can't you tell us?

The only other thing I as a volunteer did was monitor the cctv pictures when the chicks were still in the pens and make notes on what they were doing (eating, flapping, perching etc). After fledging, the cctv cameras were turned onto the feeding nests so that we could try to read ring numbers and make notes on which birds had come in to feed each day (liaising with the Yagi operator in the field).

Thanks, Alison, Roll on the new season!

Had to reply to myself to get rich formatting! 

Anyway, I saw this happening at Arne/Middlebere today. The team will be monitoring this nest platform and one other for ospreys and possible pairing/nesting behaviour throughout the season. There are other nest platforms on private land with trail cameras attached. 

I'm surprised at only monitoring 2 platforms as there are more than 2 on public land. It'll be unlucky if they watch the wrong ones.

Thanks for the update Alison. I still can't get RF to work try as I may.

I don't know what they have done now, but the only way I can get RF to work is to reply to the original post on the thread, that seems to work without any problems.
I'm sure it wasn't like this a few days ago.

It also works if you reply to the post before last.

Good morning one and all! Someone might be working today at Sandy, or I just hadn't noticed before, but there is now a box after the last post, meaning you don't have to click on the 'reply' in the previous post - am I clear? There is also the facility to Use Rich Formatting.

You still need to click the previous post to get RF.
If you click on the last post "use rich formatting" tab it just comes up with "page not found"
