As it's nearly that time I suppose it's time to start a new Thread for the Upcoming season.

022 was on the nest preening and nestorising on several occasions 07:35-08:15, CJ7 arrived @ 08:39 and waited...
Until 09:09, when 022 brought her a headless Flounder and the only delay handing over was talon-grip related, not reluctance
YouTube is stuck on 95% processing so I'll insert vid later.
As soon as my back was turned it completed:
022 stayed industriously nestorising for a while, then flew.
I'm off on a break now.

They were back on the nest together in the afternoon for a while, they didn't return for the rest of the day.
MC. This might interest you.
A lady on Poole Chat flagged up a Nightjar at 0341-0334.
I wanted to see it fly in slo mo so tried frame by frame.
What I saw was a moth fly by and the bird take off after it! Thought you'd like to take a look?
You can no doubt gt a better shot!

Not really - they're not both in a good pose at the same time, typical! So here's a short vid with the sound upped:
My internet went down for some of the night so it's lucky I've got it.
3 liddle boids, especially for RICHARD but others may apply
Lots of ons 'n off this morning, both seen, mostly 022, only briefly together.
Fish! (It almost looks like 2 fishtails there, maybe he eats the head and lots more flesh and leaves the skin flopping, but nothing was clear once landed.) He waited 2 minutes, CJ7 dropped in 10 minutes after he'd gone.
Back with what looks like it could be the same fish but it isn't, he's been on-cam several times without anything... unless he'd plonked it in a tree somewhere:
This time she got it:
Plenty of activity in the afternoon/evening, not fish or matings tho, unless I went too fast and missed them - 022 brought several bits of nest material.
No Nightjar up to 03:00.
