Well, it's now 2024 and hopefully another successful year for the Poole Harbour Ospreys.
The last couple of years have seen the successful establishment of a nest and raising of young.
Translocated females From the harbour have set up successful nests in Wales also raising young.
Hopefully this year may see the establishment of a second nest in the Harbour area.

Here was the family last year
I hope Alison Copland won't mind but here is a link to a video she has made of the 2023 season. It is a must watch for followers of Ospreys, especially the Poole harbour family

Each of the juvies got a nice fish (or 2), 3 from CJ7 and 2 from 022.
13.23 The youngest, 5H6 got a headless fish from CJ7.
14.24 Next was 5R1 with 022 delivering. 5R2 arrived before 5R1 but didn’t go for the fish.

What super providers 022 and CJ7 are. These youngsters are looking superb.
Thanks so much for the update Glider. Such a brilliant season at Poole. Hope that more nests are occupied next year.
Seems my buttons have sorted themselves and work now. So, thanks for the postings Glider. Very well done
You’re very welcome Peps and Cirrus. Just wanted a last few photos of all of the family before they begin their migrations. Yes Peps, I think there’s a good chance other nests will be used next year as more birds show interest.
