Poole Harbour Osprey Project 2021 Season

04 June

No nest visits all afternoon/early evening, then they both turned up and mated twice!  CJ7 to campost, 022 stayed for a while and flew, then a daycam cambump and then a nightcam one when someone flew off:

05 June

022 arrived early, CJ7 flew in - she must be quite keen.  Later, a mating:

Good news! Female 019 is on the Glaslyn nest right now! She is a 2019 bird translocated to Poole Harbour!

And shown off at 15:09 (by one of the Glaslyn birds, I expect, no idea which one)

Yes, Ann, wonderful news!

05 June

In the afternoon CJ7 came 'n went and 022 brought half a fish, he looks well-fed:

After the second very still night in a row, a drizzly day dawned.

06 June

CJ7 was first in, she brought a stick.  After a while 022 sailed in onto her back but that didn't work out first try:

022 was back with a well-eaten fish - someone flying around in the background but couldn't make out who/what it was:

He's finished eating now and is feaking at the front of the nest... just gone to campost.

022 has been back since, found on rollback.

So good to hear/see that another translocatee has returned, albeit not to Poole.
I will be interested to see whether she/019 turns out to be a he in the future, if she is seen again. She looks somewhat pale, and yet 022 currently at Poole, seems quite dark for a male! How confusing!
Interestingly sky dancing was heard at Glaslyn when she landed, so perhaps that is the answer, and yet again ospreys know best LOL.
