Poole Harbour Osprey Project MAY to end of 2020 season

I've finally managed to get some time off next week after a very busy and stressful year.
Hopefully I will get a chance to pop down and try to get a photo of Whitey, If so I'll post it up.

have a great few days Richard - I do hope you destress easily so that you enjoy the days. Would you please remind me what Whitey is?. What a place to live in ! fortunate you

Whitey is the name given by Scylla to the white deer in the herd often seen below and around the nest.
I live a couple of miles away from the nest.

Ah, mystery solved then Richard . Wonderful. A leucistic deer. Thank you for such a fast response . Only a couple of miles away from the nest. Very fortunate you . Enjoy your days off and your walks .

I don't think that any of these would have been sheep so we must have several Whiteys - and I think that's been mentioned before:

The "phenomena" started quite early last evening and has gone on all night, and if I'd thought of it before I could have got more dramatic examples ;)

MC. You are correct. Poole have said previously that there are a few 'Whiteys' about.

Well, how about that ! very interesting Thank you Mike and Scylla

I know it's difficult to see from that photo, especially about the scale, but the heath is grazed by cattle, and I'm pretty sure they are white.
I'll try to check it out when we are allowed access after Covid regs are lifted.

Here's one of the Poole "Whiteys".

As you can see they aren't all pure white, just very pale coloured.
