Poole Harbour Osprey Project 2021 Season

12 April

Kestrel for nearly 10 minutes +/- 14:40:

CJ7 was on the nest for an hour from 15:24, I missed her flyoff as it took place between 6-hour clips.

13 April

She did not land again until this morning, following a clunk @ 05:55.

Just for interest, this photo from a camera trap on the Arne Middlebere nest yesterday (in a different part of the harbour from the webcam nest) most likely shows CJ7's true plumage colours.

Thank you ALISON She so deserves a mate this year

How many years now has she been faithful to Poole 4? 5?

Thanks for posting the photo of CJ7 in her true colours Alison, it just shows what a difference there is between the two cams.  

No matter either cam she is a beautiful Osprey, and I so hope that she finds a mate this year.  

She first appeared in summer 2017 and interacted with the first batch of translocated chicks.

Thank you Alison, do we know if she has appeared elsewhere in the UK other than Middlebere?

Hi Jane. Not as far as I am aware. She does seem to love it here!

Wow what a difference a camera makes!

Thanks for the tweet Alison. It really does make a difference.. She is really quite dark Is there no way the nest cam can be altered? I seem to recall seeing some comment from Ems about it, but can't remember exactly what he did say now.
