Poole Harbour Osprey Project 2021 Season

Just looking in at the nest and notice egg has been abandoned, she was sitting at the edge of the nest earlier. Could this be due to inedperience.

Well she laid 3 eggs last season and ended up burying them, IIRC - so she's not completely inexperienced.  I posted a vid of her behaviour laying the egg and thru some of the night, must be on previous page  

Looks like there's an intruder nearby, they've both flown in to defend - it's on the nest !!!

You had me going there, scylla!

I guess it wasn't this nest.... :(

Alison, I'm guessing this was the intrusion at LG!
MC behind with her Coffee intake! LOL

Yes, thanks Mike. My heart rate did go up rather a lot when I read the above! Back to normal now.

(But very interesting stuff at LG.)

Strange behaviour then, Now back on the nest but at the left hand side - seems not to be interested in incvubating.

Just now.   C. Poole harbour

The egg went thru quite a lot today, as did CJ7 in the bad weather.

She brought in nest materials:

She nestcupped and incubated for short whiles:

It rained:

The 29th panned out very similar to the 28th, I could repeat the snaps.
