@Caleb (Caydrums) thank you. |
|
00:46 |
Christopher Dean |
@Billy Little .Peace to you also maybe needs conveying to some of our World leaders also. |
|

As Hawk Willow says Temps on the up soon, nice way to get them Ready for West Africa if they all venture that far we will never know unless GPS is given a thought. |

It's going to be hot in that nest today , 26C much of the day. The south east breeze may make it a bit easier for them. |
|
06:15 |
Pauline Stott |
Morning all,looks like they are waiting for the 1st meal of the day. |
|
06:35 |
pricey |
Morning! Sunny morning again….. so the ringing might happen in the next two weeks… can’t wait to see who is who 😊 |
|
06:41 |
Sarah G |
Morning all. Another scorcher. Don't envy them in this hear but then I'm not used to African temps either! |
|
06:43 |
Jenny Moore |
morning all, so it was a Red Kite circling high over the nest yesterday that upset CJ7 |
|

Morning @Sarah G and @Jenny Moore |

Morning everyone. Phew scorchio! They are going to need a lot of hydration today |

Morning all! We enjoyed a wonderful evening on the Nightjar experience! |

07:09 |

Morning All. A temp controlled sprinkler on the cam pole would be great. Lol |

Morning all. |

Hiya @Debra Jones |
|
07:21 |
Debra Jones |
Morning @Sylvia Undata I'm glad you had a wonderful evening |
|
07:24 |
Sylvia Undata |
Just those evening insects - skin so soft didnt appear to work as well = as before maybe out of date? But worth the few bites |
|
07:26 |
Debra Jones |
I'll have to remember that |
|
07:26 |
Sylvia Undata |
So many Nightjars ! But the views were also great & we saw an Osprey catch a fish ( Paul thought it had to be 022!) Stonechats ! Hobbies hearing several Dartfords but none showed. |
|
07:32 |
Debra Jones |
Sounds amazing |
|
08:08 |
Karen Daws |
Good morning everyone😊 |
|
08:09 |
Karen Daws |
Sounds like a brilliant evening @ Sylvia Undata. Good morning. |
|
08:09 |
Debra Jones |
Morning @Karen Daws it's another beautiful day albeit a hot one. |
|
08:10 |
Karen Daws |
Morning @ Debra Jones. Yes going to be hot again . |
|
08:11 |
Jan Brownlee |
Morning everyone. What’s the temperature in Poole @ 08:11 as the babies seem to be panting already? |
|
08:13 |
Debra Jones |
Morning @Jan Brownlee it's about 19 degrees here at the moment but it's getting warmer |
|
08:17 |
Jan Brownlee |
Thanks @Debra Jones. Are the babies getting shade from Mum or lining up for breakfast? Wouldn’t it be great if we had 2 females and 2 males …. a good balance. |
|
08:20 |
Debra Jones |
I think it might be a bit of both @Jan Brownlee 😆 |
|
08:26 |
Jan Brownlee |
It’s very endearing the way CJ7 looks at the babies … obviously admiring all her hard work! And why not! |
|
08:29 |
Jenny Moore |
@Jan Brownlee for the Poole Harbour dynasty it is better if we have 4 boys again, they come back to their natal site, whereas the girls all go on to Wales 😂 |
|
08:29 |
Sylvia Undata |
Getting warm here - I was hoping it would be a bit cooler ( a bit of wind) so I could st in the garden & read today - think Bro will drop by |
|
08:30 |
Sylvia Undata |
Best we have 4 Boys indeed ...we could do with any of our 2nd year juvs returning |
|
08:30 |
worthyman |
bobs waiting for breakfast. thinking there will be a scramble this morning |
|
08:36 |
Sylvia Undata |
scrambled fish go on ..... |
|
08:36 |
Sylvia Undata |
they are usually Bass |
|
08:36 |
Sylvia Undata |
Bob4 in the shade |
|
08:38 |
Jan Brownlee |
Why do the females prefer Wales @Jenny Moore? |
|
08:39 |
Sev Steve |
I live just along the coast and it's hot here already |
|
08:40 |
Holmes |
Morning all, I wonder if they will give chick 4 a special number again? |
|
08:42 |
Karen Daws |
Morning @ Holmes |
|
08:45 |
Jenny Moore |
I don't know @Jan Brownlee but that's where ours seem to end up, and why not, Wales is a beautiful place |
|
08:45 |
Sylvia Undata |
@Jan Brownlee the females naturally go elsewhere than there birth place and to a place where there are other Ospreys with spare nests |
|
08:46 |
Sylvia Undata |
They often have a look at Rutland as well but there are not many spare nests there |
|
08:47 |
Sylvia Undata |
one or two are begining to spread to other areas of England |
|
08:47 |
Mog |
+ Lots of male ospreys in Wales @Jan Brownlee 😉 |
|
08:47 |
Sylvia Undata |
We need our males back who are ot scared of 022 |
|
08:48 |
Sylvia Undata |
not scared |
|
08:53 |
Sylvia Undata |
bbl just seen the time! |
|
09:01 |
Jan Brownlee |
Oh dear … thought 022 was coming in with breakfast as CJ7 was sky watching … he should be arriving fairly soon now I hope as babies are thirsty as well as hungry. |
|
09:03 |
Jan Brownlee |
I think CJ7 has the same thoughts as she is calling! |
|
09:18 |
Jan Brownlee |
Does anyone know what temperatures the babies can tolerate at this age? |
|
09:18 |
Pauline Stott |
Oh haven't these little ones had their breakfast yet.🥲 |
|
09:23 |
Peter Jeffery |
Seen the chat re hoping for males as they'll then return to mate here: please can someone tell me how many males could stay in the harbour comfortably and would this pair tolerate them or not? |
|
09:27 |
Jan Brownlee |
I wonder if the fish have spotted O22 and have gone deep! |
|
09:31 |
Holmes |
It’s an interesting question @Peter Jeffery the harbour has around 10 ish platforms I think |
|
09:33 |
happyskierUK |
Good morning everyone. @B2711 super sprinkler idea - wonder if they would learn to press or peck something to make it work like some feeder machines with other birds? |
|
09:33 |
Sev Steve |
come on 022, I don't have my breakfast until the little ones have been fed, |
|
09:38 |
Debra Jones |
09.37 Fish! |
|
09:38 |
Sev Steve |
great news we can now all have breakfast, |
|
09:38 |
Jan Brownlee |
Well done 022 - breakfast has arrived. |
|
09:39 |
Debra Jones |
enjoy your breakfast @Sev Steve |
|
09:39 |
Neil King |
I don't think Bob 4 will get a special number this year. Last year's Bob4 was the chosen one for the last of the sequence, rather than being given a special number |
|
09:39 |
B2711 |
Morning @happyskierUK I was thinking of a thermostat like c/heating but in reverse. So when it gets too warm the sprinkler kicks in like a rain shower |
|
09:40 |
Sev Steve |
@Debra Jones will do, muselli and a cup of tea, |
|
09:42 |
Pauline Stott |
Hurrah breakfast is here.Form an orderly queue. |
|
09:43 |
Hawk Willow |
#4 squeezes in |
|
09:43 |
Nazarello |
@peter jeffery I think BOPH believe the harbour could support up to 12 nests, but at the moment O22 is seeing off any incomers. They think though that once there are two other potential nesting pairs |
|
09:45 |
Nazarello |
022 might not have time to worry about them. So fingers crossed if one of the 2023 males arrives, plus 374 it might work ou. |
|
09:45 |
Nazarello |
Out |
|
09:48 |
Jan Brownlee |
What a peaceful scene! |
|
09:51 |
Jan Brownlee |
Do we know which chick is hanging back … has he/she had its fill as I’ve never seen a chick hang back like,this before. |
|
09:58 |
Hawk Willow |
09:55:12 #1 having a good look over the edge of the nest |

one day they are going to hit the camera with their jet. |

I love the bobs’ heads moving in unison at 10:18:40 |

10:27 |
Jan Brownlee |
When did CJ7 leave the nest and is she on the CAM pole? |
|
11:16 |
Diane Smith |
Hi all, just back from the shops and took a look at the brekkie feed and chicks admiring the view after, just hope they don't lose their balance as they will be straight over the edge 😯. |
|
11:16 |
Diane Smith |
CJ7 not happy |
|
12:06 |
Adrian H |
@Diane Smith , I would guess CJ7 is disturbed by the jet liners we have arriving at Hurn Airport. Due to wind direction the Carey area is under the flight path , they are flying low and very noisy |
|
12:06 |
Adrian H |
Temperature here is now 24C and rising to 26C in a couple of hours. |
|
12:10 |
Diane Smith |
Tks @Adrian H she certainly seems unsettled |
|
12:11 |
Adrian H |
@Diane Smith , the noise is enough to rattle roof tiles and more than annoying. |
|
12:31 |
Matthew Johnston |
What a good mum, giving them some shade. |
|
12:36 |
Helen Clare |
12.35 fish |
|
13:23 |
Neil King |
@Jan Brownlee with the volume of fish coming to the nest, there's less hard fought for competition at this stage. Last year it didn't get agressive until the chicks started taking control of the fish |
|
13:45 |
B2711 |
I didn't think it was 'aggressive last year, more like who could get to the fish first and if not then who could steal it. Isn't that... |
|
13:45 |
B2711 |
...footballers do? |

Christopher Dean |
CJ7 Has that Osperella to Perfection all shaded. Just keep the Hydration packs coming O22. |
|
16:38 |
Diane Smith |
Have there only been two fish deliveries today, I only see mentioned breakfast and lunch. |
|
16:39 |
Debra Jones |
Hi @Diane Smith I've only seen two but i have been popping in and out all afternoon |
|
16:39 |
Debra Jones |
I may have missed one |
|
16:41 |
Janet Fullerlove |
I think you are right - I can only see breakfast and then around 12.37 |
|
16:41 |
Diane Smith |
Ditto @Debra Jones but I think someone would have mentioned it if there had been more. They may not have much of an appetite in the heat anyway, I know I don't! |
|
16:41 |
Janet Fullerlove |
I wonder why... |
|
16:42 |
Helen Clare |
or they may need extra for hydration |
|
16:42 |
Diane Smith |
but on the other hand they must be thirsty! |
|
16:42 |
Diane Smith |
sorry our chat crossed @Helen Clare |
|
16:43 |
Helen Clare |
no worries |
|
16:43 |
Helen Clare |
lots of tweeting at the moment - hoped it might be dad incoming |
|
16:44 |
Diane Smith |
yes, maybe he's just de-heading a fish now |
|
16:47 |
Helen Clare |
I do worry about the chicks in this heat |
|
16:49 |
Helen Clare |
there is someone around |
|

Helen Clare |
front chick looks a bit peaky? |
|
16:52 |
Helen Clare |
ah - has woken up now - maybe just sleepy |
|
16:56 |
Diane Smith |
So I wonder if 022 nodded off too as he certainly hasn't been preoccupied fishing for his family 🤔 |
|
17:04 |
Debra Jones |
He's probably been sunbathing @Diane Smith 🤣 |
|
17:05 |
Diane Smith |
Must have been something like that as there has been no mention of intruders to chase off |
|
17:06 |
Diane Smith |
CJ7 asking for more fish? |
|
17:06 |
Helen Clare |
sounds like it |
|
17:07 |
Helen Clare |
at what point will she start leaving the chicks to go fishing herself? |
|
17:07 |
Debra Jones |
Not until after the chicks have fledged @Helen Clare |
|
17:09 |
Diane Smith |
I once saw a picture of an osprey with a fish in each talon. I think 022 needs to get creative too 😂 |
|
17:11 |
Debra Jones |
That's quite a feat @Diane Smith |
|
17:11 |
Diane Smith |
it was a wonderful sight |
|
17:11 |
Debra Jones |
I can imagine! |
|
17:18 |
Sylvia Undata |
He has done that once or twice in the past! |

well done 022! |

Your wish is my command M'Lady says 022 |
|
17:19 |
Helen Clare |
it looks quite small - possibly from the river? |
|
17:21 |
Diane Smith |
perhaps he's been stockpiling them in his favourite dead tree |
|
17:43 |
Adrian H |
17:18 fish was a Bass from the harbour. |
|
17:47 |
Helen Clare |
what is she saying now? |
|
18:07 |
Diane Smith |
looks like she wants to stretch her wings and likely wants to have a bath too! |
|
18:10 |
Helen Clare |
needs dad to come and watch the kids for a bit |
|
18:12 |
Diane Smith |
exactly that |
|
18:18 |
Helen Clare |
CJ7 looking up as if she can see him |
|
18:19 |
Diane Smith |
more fish! |
|
18:20 |
Diane Smith |
I was hoping 022 might stay a feed them to give her a break |
|
18:21 |
Diane Smith |
delivery at 18:18 |
|
18:31 |
Helen Clare |
I think she's just glad there is food and hydration for her and her babies |
|
18:44 |
Diane Smith |
CJ7 leaves nest at 18:42 |
|
18:46 |
Holmes |
Evening all, I wonder if she has gone for a bath |
|
18:47 |
Diane Smith |
and back at 18:47 |
|
18:48 |
Diane Smith |
she doesn't look wet so maybe just a bit of a fly around |
|
18:56 |
Holmes |
CJ did go off fishing relatively early last year didn’t she? I can’t remember when. |
|
18:57 |
Debra Jones |
She caught an early fish on 3rd of July last year @Holmes |
|
18:57 |
Diane Smith |
I recall that she surprised us all but I also don't remember when |
|
18:58 |
Holmes |
Thanks @Debra Jones I knew the chicks were bigger |
|
18:58 |
Diane Smith |
tks@Debra Jones |

Well done @Debra Jones your notes from last year are coming in handy! |

She caught her second one on 14th July. |

Debra Jones |
They are @Sylvia Undata |

So is that four fish today so far? |
|
19:06 |
Diane Smith |
5 if i'm not mistken |
|
19:06 |
Holmes |
I think 5 going by Bart’s chat unless the 18:18 delivery was an Amazon package |
|
19:06 |
Debra Jones |
I think it's 5 @pricey |

correction 6 fish today 😂 |
|
19:14 |
Diane Smith |
I recall that last year most of 022's deliveries came later in the day, didn't they? He's definitely not a morning osprey |
|
19:16 |
Adrian H |
@Diane Smith , he's working the rising tides. |
|
19:19 |
Biggles |
it's easier to see the fish when the sun is at a lower angle. overhead is a bit dazzling! |
|
19:21 |
Diane Smith |
goid to know @Adrian H and @Biggles |
|
19:21 |
Adrian H |
@Biggles , he needs Tifosi Optics ) |
|
19:21 |
Diane Smith |

|
19:23 |

The Grey Mullet are shoaling in the harbour now so there is plenty of easy catches as the tide comes in. |

red mark is disappearing now @B2711, could it have been some kind of reflection on the camera lens? |

Fish today - 09:37, 12:35, 16:49, 17:17, 18:18, 19:10, 20:49 |

20:57 |
Debra Jones |
Thanks @Hawk Willow |
|
20:57 |
B2711 |
That was odd! The 'red line' faded away at 20.53. Perhaps a reflection from the sun? |
|
21:02 |
Janet Fullerlove |
wow 022 really made up for the earlier dearth of food, with hourly deliveries from later on. Bravo! |
|
21:03 |
Janet Fullerlove |
Delighted. Full crops, happy Osplets. |
|
21:09 |
Janet Fullerlove |
@Hawk Willow thank you so much for the fish TS. |
|
21:10 |
Janet Fullerlove |
It is very reassuring to be able to see that, coming in, knowing when I last looked there'd only been two fish. What a difference. |
|
21:16 |
Hawk Willow |
Time for one more? Sounds like CJ7 is hoping so |
|
21:21 |

Good evening. Four very healthy well fed chicks. Testament to the skilful parenting of our couple. |
|
21:22 |
B2711 |
Hi @Diane Smith only just seen your post. Thank goodness that's all it was. |
|
21:54 |
Peter Jeffery |
A quick question to you knowledge people: I was paddleboarding in the harbour this pm and saw the biggest bird of prey ever go into a black headed gull colony & take a chick |
|
21:54 |
Peter Jeffery |
would this have been a white tailed eagle? Where do they have a nest? |
|
22:02 |
Martin W |
G463 M & G466 F hang out a lot in the wareham channel at this time of year. Just feeding themselves |
|
22:03 |
Martin W |
More than likely WTE |
|
22:09 |
Mog |
Yes, it would be a WTE and they do take the gull chicks @Peter Jeffery We don't know if they are nesting this year and...we wouldn't be told where the nest was even if they were |
|
22:12 |
Peter Jeffery |
Thanks. It was huge & brown. I thought they were nesting in the Solent, not here. Surely our Ospreys wouldn't like them here. |
|
22:13 |
Martin W |
last year they were seen taking prey from passage osprey if they caught big fish during august |
|
22:16 |
Peter Jeffery |
Stay safe, darling osprey family |
|
22:22 |
Helen Clare |
there are a lot of other chicks for the WTEs to predate that don't have an angry CJ7 protecting them |

05:20:52 fresh bass delivered for breakfast. |
|
06:26 |
Diane Smith |
#4 thought it was having a private little feed until CJ7 turns her back at 5:22:28 and starts feeding the others. #4 then opts for picking up fallen fish bits |
|
06:29 |
Diane Smith |
6:20:50 CJ7 flies off whilst 022 surveys the nest from the right perch |

Jenny Moore |
morning all, The People's Trust for Endangered Species (PTES) is asking people to record sightings online as part of its national Great Stag Hunt survey. |
|
06:36 |
Jenny Moore |
The beetles are mostly found in southern England, excluding the North and South Downs, but there are hotspots in the Severn Valley and coastal parts of the southwest. |
|
06:44 |

Morning all.@Jenny Moore I usually do that anyway but this is the first year I haven't seen any yet 😞 |
|
06:53 |

Good morning all. Just gone over the events so far this morning. Good to see an early breakfast before it gets hot. @Diane Smith What a lovely family this is. I agree, so nice to see them.😍 |

@Diane Smith Caught up now! Yes, 022 is being very good this morning. First early fish delivery and now offering guard duty while CJ7 gets some respite. 😘 |
|
07:07 |
Diane Smith |
She's hopefully left for a nice bath and could she surprise us with a fish as she did last year, afterall if you spot a fish whilst having a dip, why not catch it? |
|

08:25 |

Morning all, it’s a full house |
|
08:31 |
Helen Clare |
it is, but I often look at the nest and can't see all 4 and have a brief panic till someone moves |
|
08:32 |
A19911708 |
That just happened me aswell! Was panicking, could only see 3 chicks! |
|
08:32 |
Holmes |
Yes the chicks are well camouflaged |
|
08:47 |

I wonder who the intruder is? |

The intruder landed in a tree in the background at 09:06:47 then CJ7 chased it off |
|
09:09 |

09.09 CJ7 back. |
|
09:10 |
Mog |
She doesn't mess about does she 😠 |
|
09:10 |
Hawk Willow |
Slightly smaller than CJ7 didn't look like a corvid, maybe a kite? |
|
09:11 |
Mog |
09:09 CJ7 up to the cam |

Not one of our returners from 2023 then. |

The intruder was a Honey Buzzard! 👀 |

Ooooh fancy intruder thanks @birdsofpooleharbour |

Thanks @birdsofpooleharbour That's a new one |

Well done CJ7. |

09:27 |

Good spot @Hawk Willow on size I don’t think there’s much in it in size, CJ of course is much weightier with fiercer talons |
|

Dyfi are ringing now. 1 female, 2 males |
|
09:38 |
Sylvia Undata |
Morning all - surprised by the second chick at Dyfi - I thought it was f ( big male!) will await 2 years and his return to see whether it id a male! ;lol ! |
|
09:38 |
Sylvia Undata |
That was a honey Buzzard WOW? fantastic |
|
09:59 |
Diane Smith |
It seems that the rings at DYFI have been put on the wrong legs so they look like they are from Scotland whoops.... |
|
10:12 |
Tuan Ho |
nice ps #4 |
|
10:31 |
Sylvia Undata |
First year that mistake has happened but as telyn is from Scottish stock ( via Maya) and Idris is probably from Scotland as unringed - well the chick when named can have a Mc in front ( all suggestion |
|
10:31 |
Sylvia Undata |
from the Dyfi chatters! |
|
10:32 |
Diane Smith |
I didn't check again, is it just the one chick that is wrongly ringed? |
|
10:32 |
Sylvia Undata |
All three |
|
10:35 |
Sylvia Undata |
They chicks are back on nest al happy & well & the parents have visited alls well - the records will record these chicks as Welsh ( with celtic fringes!) |
|
10:36 |
Diane Smith |
well I think it would be better if they didn't have Scottish names as that would make their origins even more confusing. 😯 |

I see CJ7 has a dislodged feather again. Hope it's not a rude gesture in the osprey world 😂 |

11:34 |

They wont @Diane Smith that was a joke! They will be named after welsh rivers or lakes or mountains! as usual |

Maybe lunchtime soon, CJ7 occasionally fish calling |
|
12:56 |
Helen Clare |
so glad one is being called Brianne - used to live close to Llyn Brianne when my kids were little and the red kites only lived there and nowhere else and used to dive bomb my washing line |

|
13:11 |
Hawk Willow |
Amazing news, so happy for everyone involved. Have to admit I felt a bit sorry for 1H1 when CJ7 arrived to oust her, happy she has been successful and 374's patience staying in the area paid off! |

Hi everyone. What amazing news that we now have an established 2nd nest. Congratulations to BoPH and everyone involved in this incredible achievement .👌👏👍 |

Wow, just wow. Delighted. Congratulations! |
|
13:17 |

That's incredible news BoPH, just what we had been hoping for. No wonder we didn't have any more updates on them, I don't know how you managed to keep it to yourselves! |
|
13:23 |
Bart |
Brilliant news 😊😊 |
|
13:31 |
Helen Clare |
I wonder how the two males feel about sharing the harbour? I mean it's big enough, but we know 022 is pretty territorial |
|
13:32 |

Some really Good News and at local level. Well done all involved for everything you do for nature which also benefits our species too.! |

13:39 |
Juniper |
Oh my goodness - a second breeding pair! I've just come back from a short break in Dorset. Did the osprey tour at Carey's on Wednesday, which was amazing. Coming home to this news - wow! 🥳 |
|
13:40 |
Diane Smith |
I hope it's ok to ask this question @birdsofpooleharbour and if not, ignore it but 3 eggs and 2 chicks. Presumably one of the eggs wasn't viable? I'm so excited by this news, congrats to all 🎉 |
|
13:43 |
birdsofpooleharbour |
Hi Diane, yes, you're right. One of the eggs didn't hatch, which is quite common in first time breeders. |
|
13:43 |
JW |
Wonderful news!! Congratulations to all! |
|
13:43 |
birdsofpooleharbour |
The same happened with CJ7 and 022 in 2022 the first year they bred. |
|
13:43 |
Helen Clare |
now I'm wondering if BoPH know where our 2 year olds are and can't tell us? |
|
13:44 |
Rose R |
As a follower of the Manton Bay nest this is excellent news. 1H1 has always enjoyed having her photo taken having previously been seen in Portugal and Germany as well as this country |
|
13:44 |
birdsofpooleharbour |
I can assure you....we don't know Helen!! I wish we did |
|
13:45 |
Helen Clare |
ah shame - so hope they come back |
|
13:45 |
birdsofpooleharbour |
Although we are keeping our ear to the ground, or should we say, eyes to the sky's |
|
13:46 |

1H1 stayed at the Manton Bay nest for 111 days and left 17 days after her sisters |
|
13:48 |

@birdsofpooleharbour Will any chicks ringed at Nest 2 have a separate sequence from chicks at Carey's? |

More good news from Norfolk Wildlife Trust. A pair breeding there for the first time too. |
|
13:55 |

@Helen Clare, hopefully 022 has accepted 374/1H1 being in the area since they have been there a while now with chicks having reached hatching stage. 😍 |
|
13:56 |
happyskierUK |
What wonderful news, thought she was a super bird when 1st meeting 022, so glad she's found her mate!🥰 |
|
13:56 |
Michelle Gowland |
2 chicks at the moment in Norfolk. Again first breeding there for centuries. |
|
13:57 |
Michelle Gowland |
I feel quite emotional, time to break open a bottle and raise a glass to all concerned. |
|
13:58 |
Diane Smith |
me too @happyskieruk, like Hawk Willow I had felt a bit sorry for 1H1 when there was no room at the inn on Nest#1 |
|
13:58 |
Ellie Lawrence |
This is such brilliant news @birdsofpooleharbour . I'm getting quite emotional 🥰 |
|
13:58 |

Congratulations to all on nest 2 superb news, you’re going to need some more rings now 🥳 |
|
14:10 |

Last year 1H1 & 374 did bond but the timing of return appeared wrong - but how wonderful to discover that while we hoped they would get together - they had! |
|
14:11 |

so excited and even more so now I hear of 2 chicks in Norfolk ! |

@Martin Banks I think I remember someone said 1H1 was CJ7’s cousin |
|

Easy to keep things quiet when you need to |
|
14:22 |

and now we have more chicks to worry about in this heat. Hopefully 374 is as good fish provider as 022 and 1H1 has her mumbrella out. |

There was a news blackout on them since their arrival back..very sensible during the critical earlier stages till chicks are hatched and growing well. Very pleased to see this result.😀 |

Such great news of BoPH Nest 2. Well done BoPH and may they all thrive. Of course, there's also 5H1, 3, 4 and 5 hopefully out there somewhere. So it could get even better. Thank you Roy Dennis too. |
|
15:57 |
Diane Smith |
Have been thinking about the day that we were ready to have a stiff drink (was it Monday?) because there was an intruder and chicks alone for ages. Could that have been 374 and BoPH couldn't tell us? |
|

Wonderful news for the southern osprey population’s future . And in Norfolk too. |

Hypothetically; if the WTEs had nested and hatched chicks, do you think BoPH would have told us? |
|

Little ones perfectly lined up practicing for Bling Day. Fantastic news all around 1H1 374 also Norfolk, will not be able to Globe nest watch soon England will be Enough for me, Great for Ospreys. |

Although it has been hot there today it has also been quite breezy by the looks, so hopefully this has helped them a bit |

022 taking his time... deheading it somewhere maybe? |

Mathew Johnston. It is practically on the doorstep. |

@Juniper he sure does, and deserves everything he gets the way he looks after his family. Still smiling thinking about the Nest 2 news, wonder if there will be a live stream from there one day. |
|
20:54 |
Juniper |
Such thrilling news about the second nest. 🥰 |
|
20:55 |
Diane Smith |
I don't know if they can put a livestream at nest #2 site as it's on private property, isn't it? |
|
21:06 |
Michelle Gowland |
This nest is on private land as well. The garden is open to the paying public but I believe the site was kept secret for a few years. |
|
21:15 |

Fish today - 05:20, 10:40, 14:05, 15:52, 18:12, 20:31 |

Debra Jones |
Thanks @Hawk Willow |
|
21:34 |
Janet Fullerlove |
So 022 definitely ate that fish at 19.44 - and why not? He has so many to keep nourished there, he needs first to draw from the well for himself or he'll not have the energy to do so for them! |
|
21:35 |
Janet Fullerlove |
@Debra Jones thanks for the fish updates earlier - much appreciated |

Not sure which chick it is over this camera side of the nest - kept stumbling about, very unsteady on it's pins... stretching it's wings, kept crashing into larger sibling, who finally gave up, moved! |
|
21:40 |
Janet Fullerlove |
Maybe it's #4... |
|
21:41 |
Janet Fullerlove |
There just isn't much room when they all start stretching their enormous wings, is there!? |

Well spotted @J B , yes very likely, CJ7 flew in that direction too |

Well done @J B I was watching the sky for an intruder, never thought of looking at the ground! |

Morning all, hope you’re all feeling good after any celebration revels for nest 2, solstice stay ups etc |

Diana Payne |
Chick impatient for a piece of fish from 022, takes a few speculative pecks itself. |
|
08:38 |
Holmes |
It’s great to see them all so relaxed |
|
08:43 |
B2711 |
Morning All. That breeze must be a help |
|
08:43 |
Holmes |
Someone’s trying to claim that fish |

Morning @B2711 |

Morning @Holmes |
|
08:47 |
Holmes |
I have been dipping in lately but has there been much self feeding |
|
08:48 |
B2711 |
I was just thinking CJ7 should go for a bath while Dad babysit's. Looks like she read my thoughts. |
|
08:51 |
B2711 |
No, I was wrong. @Holmes I've only seen few tentative nibbles but I haven't been able to watch a lot since Thursday |
|
08:52 |
Hawk Willow |
@Holmes #1 has had a few nibbles, that's his/her best attempt at it so far |
|
08:52 |
Holmes |
Thanks @Hawk Willow that’s my impression too |
|
08:54 |
B2711 |
They seem more keen at learning how to balance on those massive feet |
|
09:02 |
B2711 |
CJ7 in with a nice straight stick |
|
09:20 |
Diana Payne |
CJ7 takes back control of the fish |
|
09:20 |
Holmes |
022 will have to get another fish if he wants to feed |

Tiger Mozone |
Good morning everyone |
|
10:51 |
Tiger Mozone |
Has #4 now actually caught up with #3 in terms of size? |
|
10:53 |
Adrian H |
Hi Tiger , he is getting there . Did you see the news of the second Poole nest complete with chicks? |
|
10:53 |
Tiger Mozone |
Yes I did. I had suspected as much given the strange silence |
|
10:55 |
Tiger Mozone |
There are so many new osprey nests in recent time |
|
10:55 |
Tiger Mozone |
I have heard rumours of one in Devon |
|
10:55 |
Adrian H |
@Tiger Mozone , it's good news for the UK and this location. |
|
10:56 |
Adrian H |
@Tiger Mozone there is a farm in Devon that has erected several nests and has been visited already. |
|
10:57 |
Adrian H |
They are on the Tamar Valley where sprey have been fishing for 40+ years |
|
10:58 |
Tiger Mozone |
A friend of mine was in the Netherland and he texted me to ask if there were ospreys in the Netherlands. I said YES confirming that there is a small colony |
|
10:58 |
Tiger Mozone |
He thought he saw one which he could have done |
|
10:59 |
Adrian H |
The guys running the Netherlands Project were on here a few weeks back |
|
11:00 |
Adrian H |
Devon is the Tamar and Tavy Osprey Project at Warleigh Barton |
|
11:01 |
Tiger Mozone |
The problem is not nest but how to get the first male to choose the area |
|
11:02 |
Tiger Mozone |
But we have had the first success in East Anglia very recently |
|
11:04 |
Adrian H |
So the come back is spreading slowly |
|
11:05 |
Tiger Mozone |
The spread seems to be gathering speed |
|
11:06 |
Tiger Mozone |
Yes #4 is noticeably bigger |
|
11:07 |
Adrian H |
~4 has been very feisty and getting plenty of feed from both parents. |
|
11:09 |
Tiger Mozone |
Ringing is only about a week away |
|
11:10 |
Tiger Mozone |
I am glad that the roasting hot weather may be subsiding somewhat |
|
11:11 |
Adrian H |
@Tiger Mozone , yes, this season seems to have gone very quickly. They'll have grown a lot again by then. |
|
11:12 |
Adrian H |
@Tiger Mozone , the forecasts for this site today are all wrong. 2 forecasters said it would be 28degrees plus all day, 1 said rain and another said 24C and cloud for midday . It is very humid now. |
|
11:13 |
Adrian H |
Looks like we may well get rain. |
|
11:13 |
Tiger Mozone |
Well a bit of rain would be good |
|
11:14 |
Adrian H |
Forecast tomorrow is for much lower temperatures. |
|
11:15 |
Tiger Mozone |
All the chicks will soon be through the fast growth stage |
|
11:15 |
Adrian H |
50% chance of rain between 11:00 and 13:00 |
|
11:17 |
Tiger Mozone |
In 2018 the hot weather did a lot of damage both at Poole and Rutland |
|
11:20 |
Adrian H |
@Tiger Mozone , yes the land here was parched, looked like a desert. |
|
11:25 |
Kate Beard |
Looks like the rain has arrived on the nest |
|
11:25 |
alan X |
Raining ! also a lot of gunfire going off locally! |
|
11:26 |
Adrian H |
@alan X , yes a few drops of rain at Carey , sounds like a pigeon shoot going on. |
|
11:28 |
Adrian H |
@Kate Beard , did you see the videos of the new nest? They are on YouTube and BOPH page. |
|
11:29 |
Kate Beard |
@Adrian H Oh yesterday was a great nest news day |
|
11:29 |
Sylvia Undata |
rain is in the air ( been like it all morning we really need a downpour to clear the humidity its so heavy |
|
11:51 |
alan X |
Met live forecast indicates no more rain for today! |
|
11:55 |
happyskierUK |
11.55 Fish! |
|
12:14 |
Hawk Willow |
I think 2, 4 ,1 had the initial feed, #3 moved in for a solo feed now |
|
12:50 |
Diana Payne |
Could the gunfire be clay pigeon shooting? I hear that near me on some Sundays. |
|
14:40 |
happyskierUK |
14.40 Osparasol time. |
|
15:05 |
Janet Fullerlove |
Can someone please remind me, what were the sexes of last year's 4 bobs here? Mainly male I think? |
|
15:05 |
Janet Fullerlove |
Ah don't worry - found it written beneath in description |
|
15:08 |
Janet Fullerlove |
All male. In fact only 2 females fledged from their nests, and 6 male thus far since 2022. Let's hope this year's bob4 is female... |
|
15:11 |
Diane Smith |
Hi @Janet Fullerlove any reason why you want #4 in particular to be female? |
|
15:22 |
happyskierUK |
Trying to book an osprey tour at Careys - finding it very difficult - had to leave a phone message. Is it always problematic? 🤞 |
|
15:32 |
happyskierUK |
15.32 Fish arrives with 022. |
|
15:40 |
Tiger Mozone |
Although it is still too early to be sure I feel that #4 is female. That is because of the rapid growth in recent time. |
|
16:13 |
Helen Clare |
from current angle there are no chicks visible at all! |
|
16:24 |
Hawk Willow |
CJ7's favourite spot the last few days for shielding the chicks ⛱ |
|
16:56 |
Jenny Moore |
so 3H9 has joined 359 in Rutland, looks hopeful for next year for them |
|
16:58 |
Patricia McDade |
Has 5h3,4,5 made a visit home yet? |
|
17:02 |
Jenny Moore |
no news yet @Patricia McDade |
|
17:03 |
Patricia McDade |
Thank you @Jenny Moore i am hoping one of them returns. |
|
17:04 |
Kate Beard |
Do we know if 5H1 is back this year? |
|
17:06 |
Jenny Moore |
17.05 whole fish delivery |
|
17:10 |
Hawk Willow |
@Kate Beard 5H1 was photographed on a Rutland nest in April this year |
|
17:12 |
Kate Beard |
Ahh thanks @Hawk Willow |
|
17:33 |
Jenny Moore |
naughty naughty #1 taking a few swipes at CJ7, she just takes it |
|
17:34 |
Helen Clare |
am I right that she's about 10? How long do they go on breeding for? |
|
17:45 |
Martin W |
@Helen Clare In her 11th year(Born 2015). Can go on to 20 - 25yo |
|

Cheers @Juniper |

Mog |
Looks like 3H9 (Rutland 2023) has found a mate in Rutland, a Rutland male 359 (2021). Too late to breed but hopefully they will bond before migration. I'm so glad she's finally found someone |
|
20:26 |
Nigel Peat |
Hi, does anyone know if CJ7 is related to Maya from Manton Bay? We recently visited Rutland and, I think, heard that Maya has rasied approx 42 chicks? |
|
20:30 |
Tiger Mozone |
@Nigel Peat The lineage of Maya is unknown. |
|
20:33 |
Tiger Mozone |
Maya arrived at Rutland in 2009 (I think) She was thought to be a two year old. |
|
20:34 |
Tiger Mozone |
She first paired up with Yellow 32 in lagoon 4 but he got shot in 2010 |
|
20:35 |
Tiger Mozone |
Maya then paired with Green 5R who had the distinction of being the first young osprey to return in 150 years |
|
20:36 |
Tiger Mozone |
Maya had at least two broods with him but he failed to return in 2014 |
|
20:37 |
Tiger Mozone |
Then Maya paired up with Blue 28 also known as wonky wing |
|
20:38 |
Tiger Mozone |
However Blue 33 came along and evicted Blue 28 |
|
20:38 |
Tiger Mozone |
Blue 33 has been the male at Manton Bay ever since |

Matthew Johnston |
It's good that they don't have to fight each other for food |
|
21:34 |
Helen Clare |
I think 022 might squeeze in a 7th fish tonight |
|
22:34 |
Nigel Peat |
Hi @Tiger Mozone, thank you for the deatils around Maya, really interesting. Cheers, Nigel |
|
