Poole Harbour Ospreys and Relocation 2020

Thanks, Jane. I'm pretty sure that was a low-flying plane. As Mike mentioned on live chat, there was engine noise to accompany it. They carry out army/navy exercises in the harbour area sometimes, dropping parachutists over the water. I don't know if that is happening at the moment though. There is also Bournemouth Airport not too far away, where they have been flying planes in to park them up.

There was a large C130 military aircraft flying about a little while ago, which flew over the heath where the nest is.

I can’t get the live chat on this nest if I’m using my iPad, very irritating. Thank you for the update.

There was a brief unseen intruder @ 12:20:

She has been on the nest a lot but not working very hard, and not bringing much in - but she's already done a grand job up to this point :)

A little trip while sorting a stick:

She posed again for us - had her eye on something here:

She flew up to the campost and may have flown off, according to bump, @ 16:55, then this guy visited around 17:30:

Thanks for all updates and pics.

21:02 last night there was a cambump and when I listened there was a definitely rattle-clang, she must have flown off then.  Later it rained.

I've had a problem with the stream this morning, and when I try using rollback the insert is flashing white randomly:

No-one seen yet, but I can't be sure that's accurate.

CJ7 on look out I hope she doesn't have to wait too much longer for LS7 or another beau

I've been watching an empty nest for the past 20 minutes.  It's been raining and looks quite dreich today.  CJ7 has landed

We are having some very much-needed rain, Sheila. It's been bone dry for about a month and all the heaths are tinder-dry. Going back to dry again from this afternoon, though.
