Back for 2025 and hopefully our long established pair CJ7 and 022 will soon be returning for a renewing of their relationship for another year. They have raised 8 chicks to migration over the las 3 years.
2024 saw another successful year on the Poole nest, with 4 chicks successfully raised to migration.
3 female birds from previous years have now established successful nests in Wales, again raising young.
Several birds, both Poole born and from other areas were seen on the various nests in and around the harbour and hopefully they will return and a 2nd and maybe even a 3rd nest being established this year.

Thanks Alison. A week to go!
More delay thanks to corvids bringing in baling twine to the nest! They've had to climb the tree this morning to remove it. Hopefully the cameras will go live soon.
Oh dear, hopefully all went well. Thanks Alison.
A message from BOPH on Instagram today.
Just been released by Birds of Poole Harbour.
It looks like Blue 022 is back
Welcome home Blue 022!
Fantastic to see him from the boat trip this morning!
Brilliant news - thanks all for the heads up
Welcome Home Blue 022
Oh lucky you, Alison, I didn't see either of them on my boat trip last year. But I did see a WTE steal a fish from a juvenile Osprey.
022 currently on the nest.
