Poole Harbour Ospreys 2023 season

There’ll have been earlier fish I should imagine but this is one 022 brought to CJ7 this evening. I don’t know if she was that hungry? Or eggy?

CJ7 flies down from the perch to meet 022 and his fish.

He mantles and she doesn’t ask for it. She walks behind 022 and he flies off with the headless fish.

CJ7 stays on the nest and 022 returns at 20.04

Again CJ7 doesn’t ask for it and she just stands beside 022 for a few minutes.

She then takes the fish in her beak

and flies off with it.

Cams have been buffering for quite a while:

It's time she was eggy :)))  BTW, I have this cam displaying in a corner of a screen and have noticed that the nest is most often empty - ie, they don't spend much time on it, and CJ7 spends much less time "waiting" than Asha does.

I've only just remembered to reset the streams to download - after seeing the pair mating on the nest this morning - I think CJ7 has flown and 022 remains on the nest - instant update, they're now each on their own arch perch.

CJ7 has been showing interest in the nestcup and is still there as per second snap, more-or-less, as I type:

EDIT

022 just arrived, mated, left.  CJ7 remains... up with a flap... thinking about leaving.

I'm on tenterhooks re the singer's ID - RICHARD !!!

Now:

Robin, Pheasant, Osprey and Blackbird, maybe a distant Song Thrush

Now that's just overkill, Richard
