Poole Harbour Osprey Project MAY to end of 2020 season

This morning someone landed on the campost @ 07:10 and took off @ 09:00, no vocals, no-one seen.

Two more ons 'n offs in the afternoon, the first of which @ 13:36 sounded very "osprey feaking" after landing.

Ten minutes of Nightjar, just for the record, not edited except for taking out a space, and no spectacularly different performance.

The stream went down for half an hour at midnight.

Fabulous footage Alison, lucky you how exciting.

Great to see the Sparrowhawk Scylla, we get one visiting the garden fairly regularly looking for lunch. Love all the shots of the Nightjars, what are they going to do next year when the nest idn properly occupied! They are probably the best views I'll ever get in this country although have seen them in Zambia in Chobe NP.

Nightjar last evening - it's not complete, as it returned again but I had multi-internet-dropouts yesterday and never got it leaving - so that last visit is omitted.

Visitor to the Poole nest this evening.

Looks like a Scottish youngster, but I can't make out the ring ID

I thought maybe 659, but it is hard to read.

I see there is a Blue 239 ringed in Scotland this year

First character doesn't look like a 2 to me, but it's very hard to tell.

Edit: Tim Mackrill has just said on Twitter that it’s either 639 or 659 but he can’t be sure.

 Morning and afternoon corvids:

You said it, Alison !!!  I can even make it a 1 without really trying

Despite great efforts, I cannot improve the legibility and may even have made it worse.

This is a different version, uncut, I've made it Unlisted so's not to surprise anyone with boredom ;)
