Poole Harbour Ospreys 2024

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

  • More fish deliveries and CJ7 made an appearance.

    15.34 CJ7 brings in a fish for 5R0, his 2nd of the day.

    The fish breaks free


    5R0 chases after it. CJ7 leaves him to it.

    Got it.


    17.16 Next delivery is from 022 again.

    5R1 finally gets his fish.


    He takes off as 5H6 arrives.

  • 17.48 5R1 was back on the nest just over half an hour from when he left with the last fish. 

    Had he eaten it super quick? (it was headless) Or had he dropped it or part of it?

    Whatever, he was in luck as 022 arrived with another fish, a whole one this time.

    18.25 


    The fish got loose in the exchange.

    5R1 practically lay on it to contain it!

    18.27 All under control now.

    And off he goes.
