Poole Harbour Osprey Project MAY to end of 2020 season

Sorry, Richard, I can't answer that question at the moment!

Vid watched SCYLLA Obligining spider

Dear PATILY has stars and Brownie points 

Early this morning there wasn't a breath of wind, the nest didn't budge for an hour or two after 06:00.

I have a gap 05:55:26 - 06:01:22 (it occurred on all the YT downloads but not a non-YT one), during which time a "little bird" alighted on the nest - it was there for almost 15 minutes from 06:01 and wouldn't have left but for a Raven disturbing it.  I can only think of Thrush (Song or Mistle, no idea):

That's it up to 16:10.

I knew it was going to be bad, could see reflections before the sun went down

Some Nightjar activity and vocals - there was unusual traffic noise (including a siren not involved in the video) which I've tried to tone down.  Are there eggs in the spider's web?

That's up to 05:10.

I am really going to put the cat amongst the pigeons Scylla.
As you know the settings on the Poole camera really do lighten the bird colour. CJ7 looks a very light brown.
After watching the video a couple of times, and now sitting in my conservatory watching a couple of young Blackbirds rummaging around in the flower beds I'm pretty sure it's a Blackbird, not a Thrush.
One of the birds I'm looking at has a very pale underneath, just like the one in the video.

I'm perfectly happy with that, Richard - Thrush was a very desperate guess, thinking I must have courage ;)

This was definitely a Coal Tit, if you can see it at all!

Nothig to see here!  But I think that an Osprey (not corvid feet, IMHO, but possibly a Buzzard's?) landed on the campost @ 10:06 and took off a minute later.  No vocals, unfortuantely.  (I cut out some of the wind-only bit.)

That was a Coal Tit

The first Nightjar visit tonight, a second one perched just over the side of the nest - well camouflaged by nightcam:

This looked big but looks are deceiving on cams:

02:53 Nightjar vocal but no appearance for a while... (I had to fish the bits of this out of the recycle bin, due to an aberration ):

It was there for 7 minutes with a quick flyaround in the middle - in fact, it could have been a second one taking over from the first, I'll never know ;)

Then we had a nice surprise - I'd have cropped this if we had higher resolution:
