Beautiful female, Rutland's CJ7:
The hoped-for partner for CJ7, local male LS7, has not yet appeared. CJ has been tending the nest daily and yesterday she took everyone by surprise, producing an egg - which took us by surprise by surviving... until midnight at least ;)

EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Just popped down to the BofPH Osprey watch at Ham Common. Plenty of people turned up and Ospreys flying about over the shallows and sat in dead tree at Arne.. Highlight was watching 3 Ospreys circling round together up towards the Wareham Channel.

Both CJ7 and an unringed (male) osprey landed on the nest, each with fish, at around 17.30.

The male first appeared at 13.40 and stayed for a while. When he reappeared with a fish he was chased off by CJ7. They both then came back and the male was on the nest for quite a long time.
Kind regards, Ann
That is good Alison, hope if he makes it back next season, he remembers his stop at Poole.
What a disaster! It's all because of that little bird!
I said this and then posted it in the same wrong thread again:
I accidentally posted this in "Can anyone ID this bird..." and Tony kindly answered Rook, lol.
======================
There was a problem with the 5h30m clip up to 13:00 yesterday, I can't navigate it.
Since then, no activity to report yesterday, no Nightjar overnight - either they plum-tuckered themselves out the night before or they found somewhere else to perform. Awful weather again, not as much rain but lots of wind.
This morning, this corvid wheeled around out of sight and cawed loudly, not seen again:
And then I posted this there too!
Surprise!
The following is wrong, due to doing it in my sleep:
I think there are 3 ospreys here, 2 unringed and CJ7 - the first has no fish and it had landed while the previous clip was still processing, dang it. Then there's a male with a fish and CJ7 with a fish, she's not there nearly long enough.
It's abysmally glitchy, I took the sound right off.
Unringed fishless male or female?
Unringed male with fish:
CJ7
This was a very unexpected labour and I'm not really fit for it at this time of the morning :(
OMG - then the Nightjar performed for 2 hours!
Here's a bit different pose, I can't do a video at the mo:
Oh the stressss !!!
And here is an unringed male with no fish at 1326.
He flew in, looked round for a couple of minutes, gave a few cheeps and then flew up onto the campost.
