Sad to see them go, but all in all a great season despite the loss of 5H2.

So wonderful to see CJ7 finally become a mum. She never stopped trying and found a fantastic mate in 022. What beautiful, strong chicks they produced. RIP 5H2 Can’t wait for their return next year and we’ll get a better view of the nest with sound too!!

Here here ALISON So very sad about 5H2 Such a freak event but as you say so wonderful that CJ7 is a mum at last

I read earlier that 022 had reappeared--is that true? I know some adults and juveniles take mini holidays away before actually migrating. The female at Dyfi, Telyn/3J, had 2 mini holidays this year before heading south for her winter hols.

Kind regards, Ann

022 appeared on one of the harbour nest platforms that has a trail camera twice on Thursday, but not since. Whether that means he has actually gone now, who knows!

Posted on Twitter account of Birds of Poole Harbour yesterday

022 was still around in the harbour today.

I wonder if he’ll choose a different nest site next year?

The choice will be made by CJ7, I suspect! And she showed no sign of leaving the current nest, even after the goshawk incident.

022 was present briefly early yesterday morning on the same harbour platform, but not seen since then.
