Poole Harbour Ospreys 2023 season

  • Oh dear. Black bag bits not good for chicks,, heavy sigh
  • Very fresh fish delivery for CJ7 this morning at 06.36.


    CJ7 goes straight to 022’s talons.


    The fish was very wriggly so she took her time in securing it


    before she was ready to fly off.

    Thank you to everyone who has expressed concern about the black plastic 022 has brought in to the Osprey nest. We are aware and currently assessing the situation. Any decision to intervene will be based on the birds' best interest and weather conditions in the coming days.

  • 50mph + winds forecast for tomorrow night so we'll see what that does to the plastic

    Plenty of places for them to go, both in and out of the wind.

    Looks like 022 flew in with leftover fish this morning - and CJ7 wasn't long gone with it:

    Next he delivered a trailing clutch of hay:

    No-one currently on the nest.

    I think this was CJ7 who was favoured with a zoom:
