Poole Harbour Ospreys 2022

Start of a new year so start of a new thread. 

I have changed the title slightly.

It could be a momentous year when, hopefully, our resident Ospreys return.

    Oh, Scylla, little Finchie just could not make up its mind and seems to have been spoilt for choice! Really made me laugh. Corvid was entertaining, too--thanks. And right or wrong, please do not eat you trackball--probably would end up very expensive in regard to the teeth department, not to mention likely to be painful! Don't waste your fortune on the dentist...save it for more tech.

    Kind regards, Ann

    No need to eat your trackerball

    I had great hopes for this cambump, but was let down:

    There a nice clear view of the Greenfinch on the nest from 35 seconds until it's back on the perch:

    Thank you, Mike !!!  I don't think I go back far enough for 8C, what year was she?  Nice looking, IMHO.

    All too short a visit this morning, only 10 minutes - I wonder where she's off to?

    What wonderful news.  Blue 8C(14) f

    According to my notes, which may or may not be correct!

    Parents:  Mrs G and Orange 11(98)m at Glaslyn

    Siblings:  7C and 9C  

    2017 Oct - seen Popenguine, Senegal  

    2019 seen 31 March Moortown Ringood, Hants,  and seen 19 Nov Somone Senegal  by Pip&VicPaine & Joanna Dailey  

    2021  August seen at Poole Harbour Ospreys, and  25 August at Lytchell Bay, Upton, Dorset,

    She has certainly been around at bit, and it's lovely she has been seen in her over-winter site.  Whether she has a nest somewhere or not I have no idea.

    It's wonderful to a returning 'chick', although she is not a spring chicken these days! I've used that phrase before, in reference to Mrs G, her mum!! It really would be lovely to know whether she is a breeding female or still wandering in search of a nest.

    09.22  the cam post wobbled

    09.29  8C(14)f  landed with a chirrup

    09.39.01  She flew off - something (8C?) landed on the campost

    09:53  Heather Corfield would love to know where she is breeding. The only female known to have bred so far nested in Perthshire and she also landed on the Loch of the Lowes nest. Glaslyn born birds approve of cameras.

    10.11  Lots of noise on the nest cam and two birds calling - one then landed on the nest

    10.15- visit by a raven, although I could hear the odd sound of someone on the nest cam.

    10:28 Peter  ​morning all, great to see an osprey on the nest again, latest news CJ7 has just crossed the border between Spain and France and didn't get held up at customs

    I'm not sure who Peter is - part of the team perhaps, nor how he knows CJ7's location.  Is she tagged?

    Skipping through, I haven't seen anything since.

    I got thoroughly distracted looking for the Osprey - first a Greenfinch on the perch, which was too small to "bother" you with, then Raven and Magpie!
