The Poole Harbour Translocation Thread for 2019 - 2020

I happened to be with Paul Morton when he received the email with a photo of 2 birds on one of the nests, both with blue rings on right leg. Not readable on the photos, though. He then rushed off in search of the birds. Best to leave it to the experts at this point, I find!

Alison. What incredible news. What's Paul's heartrate!!??

He's out on a Puffin Boat now, so I hope he doesn't fall in with all the excitement!

Even mentioned on "Springwatch" with alarger version of the picture posted on FB
Chris Packham may have caused a little confusion as he referred to LS1 as "one of last year's birds"

Yes, patily, I noticed that too. Still, a mention is good anyway even if slightly inaccurate!

I see Roy Dennis has tweeted that LS1's dad is White AA, a 12 year old, who is raising a family again this year.

Only detail is Male, 2007 on UK Ospreys. Picked up from the Tweet??

I agree Mike, probably updated after the tweet.

So we have LS1 back and are possibly waiting on LS3 and LS7  Now 3 out of 8 would reprsent a return rate of   37.5% which would be impressive. 

For those on FB there a photo on A9Birds page of LS1 when he was a chick on the nest before relocation.
