Poole Harbour Osprey Project MAY to end of 2020 season

Unknown said:

Egg no. 3 laid this morning, approx. 07.26.

At the end it looked like either a serious scare or a male making an appearance I don't suppose anyone had a wider view on site?

Oh, sweetheart , dear CJ7 . Common lads - here's a really pretty lady with home ! no mortgage

I am pretty sure CJ7 is up on the campost and has been for the passed hour. I keep hearing clink, tap. A quick review of the vid suggests she hasn't been around for hours. Three eggs boiling in the sunshine.

'Lo Patiy. lovely but lonely captures. Thank you

Good morning!

Overnight there were at least 2 cambumps - 00:50 and 01:18.

Samples of CJ with eggs - and a Magpie briefly intrudes:

CJ was on the nest at lunchtime and since, and I've been hearing her on the campost:

Oh, the precious girl - I hope she explores elsewhere for a nest and partner. It would break my heart to have her come back here for 4 or 5 years and not attract a mate.

A Tawny Owl paid a visit at 0342.

CJ7 could fly up to Rutland and find herself a male by nightfall. She chooses not to do so.
