Poole Harbour Ospreys 2022

That is such good news, Alison!! She clearly has an eye on Wales.

Thanks, everyone, for the pics and posts. Special thanks to Alison for the information about 019--I missed that, being involved with other things recently. Hope she finds a nest and partner for herself, in Wales or anywhere, really! Apparently there are many spare nest platforms for her to choose from in Wales or so I've heard. Fingers crossed that if she does, she is observed and that the information is made public...although I do not need to know exactly where, only that she settles somewhere.

20 April - nest 2 - really fast run-thru today and the only mating I caught was one where she tipped him off!  Never mind, I'm sure there were plenty of good ones, and they did spend some time in the nestcup.

Nest #1 can't be done today.

EDIT - Relented and did the evening - a Raven stayed 6 minutes, this was the end of a bounce across the nest:

Nest 1 - the Raven with donuts - it does like its sweet things.

I'm calling that Nest 1, hope I'm not confusing anyone

As for the donuts - well!  the evening clip I did started at something past 6pm, so you can imagine with what trepidation and dread I ferreted in Recycle Bin for the previous session - but it was there !!!  However, it had cut off before the prescribed 6 hours and I soon found out why    

For comparison I found a Raven @ 15:00 and the cam had started glitching, not as badly, at that time.

Nest #2 started out really well, with CJ7 eating a fish @ 08:00:

2 minutes later she went to the nestcup and 022 took advantage, which is as it should be:

Mid-afternoon mating - does 022 always wrap from his right, I wonder?

Bourbons, doughnuts, I dread what will appear next

Nice to see them both together on the nest Chat discussing whether she will lay today
