Beautiful female, Rutland's CJ7:
The hoped-for partner for CJ7, local male LS7, has not yet appeared. CJ has been tending the nest daily and yesterday she took everyone by surprise, producing an egg - which took us by surprise by surviving... until midnight at least ;)

Unknown said:Pine Marten perhaps, Cirrus? I do not know if there are any in Dorset or not--possibly made extinct there years ago...Just looked for them online. Have a look here at the Vincent Wildlife Trust website--seems there might be some in the New Forest (and that is Hampshire--possibly!): www.vwt.org.uk/.../. The map on Wikipedia has no dot in the south of England, but I expect they may not have updated their map. The VWT are the experts on Pine Martens apparently, and are involved in translocating them to other spots in the UK.
Yep that's it Gardenbirder . Pine Marten yes yes yes, thank you (I was just being silly, didn't actually mean any of those geese or pine marten 0
Tony T said:I love the idea of Pine Martins Cirrus, that would be fab.
Harrumph,Tony - I agree they are gorgeous but ruefully remember the recent season at Loch Arkaig when one stole all 3 eggs
Anyway, must get on, who knows what excitement awaits us in the unchecked downloads?

But we've got these threats and who can blame them feeling miffed when the intruder takes over their playpen in the spring?
