Poole Harbour Osprey Project MAY to end of 2020 season

One egg now broken, after CJ7 trod on it.

Yes, I've just caught up with it - it happened about 13:26, with CJ's left foot doing the damage.

Poor snaps, sorry:

That will attract attention now.

Somewhere between my systems and CJ's nest (all cams, actually) things have gone astray, but here's what I have since yesterday afternoon.

Evening - she had a nice preen and posed here for quite a while:

Oops, I've rebooted so it looks as tho I may have to work on the snap sizes again... hang on, this is just a test.

Someone asked about getting one of these a day or two ago - well I got THREE ;)

Yesterday continued...

She flew from the perch @ 20:01:

The first cambump (that I noticed) was 05:32, when CJ landed with chips.  At 05:48 she flew off with some of a fish - good to see that she's looking after herself :-*

There may have been toenails heard @ 07:30 but that's debatable.

09:24 she landed, chipping, on the campost.

09:52 she flew off, only a tiny glimpse of wingtip seen on the left edge of our picture.

That's up to 10:54 and I don't think she's been back.

Migrant Osprey caught a fish in the Wareham Channel this AM at c12:30pm

(Interestingly there was another sighting at Blandford Forum at 11.30 (one flew over Lower Bryanston) .)

It must have been a passing migrant, as CJ7 returned to the nest at 12.26 with a lovely chirrup

It was quite breezy up on the nest.  CJ7 opened her wings occasionally

Before flying off at 13.27

She hasn't been back

It was a windy evening and night, so no cambumps stood out - and still quite breezy since daycam, the same applies. No sign of CJ7 up to now.

Lovely framed pic of CJ Scylla. My heart goes out to her .
And lovely captures generally Sheila and Scylla, thank you

CJ didn't turn up until lunchtime, when she was greeted by a corvid:

She flew off...

... but soon returned - with chirps that were pretty much drowned by the wind:

She stood there for 2 hours, then flew in an unknown direction.  That covers up to 20:20, by which time she had not been back.

Its a shame she doesn't seem to know what to do with her eggs. I believe she is a young bird.
