Poole Harbour Osprey Project MAY to end of 2020 season

Nothing to report except that the web got blown aside at about half-past midnight, and this morning continues wet 'n quite windy.

A rainy day with no birds seen.  Just after 17:40 the deer emerged from "under the nest" and made their way together out to the lane and away to the right.

Mist drifted in after 21:00:

No web, but during the day I could see whispy shadows fluttering so it's there:

It rained overnight up to 02:00-ish:

Day dawned a rather strange colour:

Then stranger even:

This should be full daycam but it's almost mono.  (The deer are out browsing.)

CJ7 turns up in stealth mode, she is in there somewhere

Saw CJ7 in the flesh today from a Birds of Poole Harbour bird boat trip, which was absolutely lovely. She was circling around as if looking to fish, but then flew higher and away to a different part of the harbour.

What good luck Alison. So pleased for you. Shall we await pictures or were you just happy to see her again!?

Just happy to watch her this time, Mike. She didn’t come very close and I struggle to focus with the camera when on a moving boat!

Alison - pleased to read you enjoyed your boat trip and over the moon for you seeing CJ7. And I note you had your camera with you - hopefully some photos to share and if so, I look forward to seeing them :-)

Alison, since you bought you camera have you installed the latest firmware upgrade?
This update included animal AF, which can make focusing easier on birds and animals.
I presume you still have the Sony.

Karen, sorry no photos this time, I just enjoyed watching her fly around.

Richard, yes I still have the Sony RX10-IV, but not the update. I'll look into it, thanks for the tip.

Edit: now downloaded and installed, thanks again!
