WOW what a weekend catching up with these beautiful birds @btobirds.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social @owldaily.bsky.social @sony-alpha.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social #SEO #shortearedowl #birds #owl

Incredible news! In 2022 The first chick to fledge for 180 years in the South of England was female ‘5H1’. Last year she raised 3 of her own chicks near Rutland including 8R3, which our team ringed. 8R3 was just seen in the Gambia by Fansu Bojang. Great to see 3rd generation Ospreys now thriving!

Poole Peregrines, pre-breeding behaviour is well under way...👍

A very blustery Lyme Regis this morning @bournemouthecho.bsky.social @metoffice.gov.uk @lymeregiscottage.bsky.social @sony-alpha.bsky.social #lymeregis #weather #waves #saturdaymorning #January #sonyuk

Photos from the 2 White Tailed Eagles over Studland earlier today,unfortunately poor light and shooting into the sun meant some rather creative editing, maybe after the festive break someone can confirm the rings @harbourbirds.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @dorsetraptors.bsky.social

We've managed to read the BTO ring number of the adult female from this years' live hobby nest camera. EZ92156. Ringed by DRSG in 2019 as a chick at another F.E. site 8.5 miles away. To think she will have travelled at least 50,000 miles migrating alone!

Poole (Dorset) peregrines have been very active in the higher nest box recently. Adult male and female spending considerable time at the box and the male recorded scraping. This year's juvenile male (HG) is still present. If he is still around in Mar/April will he help or hinder?...we'll see.

Brilliant piece debunking the nonsense claim in the Daily Telegraph. But it’s dangerous nonsense, polarising attitudes & whipping up prejudice. The DTelegraph is such a shit newspaper. Oh, and the photo? Staged - captive eagle, already-dead lamb.

@ukoi.bsky.social osprey blue 8J2 just successfully fished at Otter estuary

Having been lucky enough to photograph Osprey at close quarters in the wild (not in a hide) I managed to get an extreme close up of their talons in action.The bird fished about 25’ away from me giving this view of its spicules which help keep hold of the slippery pray #osprey @ukoi.bsky.social #bird

Osprey 1H1 still fishing well in Christchurch harbour. 3 osprey in total seen 1H1, unringed and another unidentified blue ringed bird all caught fish @CHOG_birds #CHOG @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social @ukoi.bsky.social @dorsetraptors.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social

Was out yesterday checking on some fledged hobby chicks from a brood we ringed on an urban fringe heathland site. All three chicks doing well. Won't be long before they head off on migration. The latest I have seen a family still at this site is 6th Oct. but most will be gone 2 weeks before this.

The sun will rise in #Bournemouth #England tomorrow at 6:13, 92 seconds later than the day before. It will set at 20:04, 126 seconds earlier than the day before.

Osprey just caught fish at Stanpit Marsh, blue ring but unable to read as too distant @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social @harbourbirds.bsky.social @ukoi.bsky.social

Lots of Osprey action in the Wareham Channel this morning, seen from the @harbourbirds.bsky.social Osprey Cruise. These two birds came closest to the boat. The White-tailed Eagle pair were sitting in their favourite tree for the whole time. @ukoi.bsky.social

The sun will rise in #Bournemouth #England tomorrow at 6:09, 92 seconds later than the day before. It will set at 20:10, 123 seconds earlier than the day before.

At least two Ospreys seen this am in Lytchett Bay with @nyrak62.bsky.social & @twamers.bsky.social. One had metal ring only on right leg, the other appeared to be unringed. Both had multiple fishing attempts and at times were calling to each other. @harbourbirds.bsky.social @ukoi.bsky.social

@harbourbirds.bsky.social unringed osprey caught fish at 2nd attempt middlebere Channel

Osprey now in bay, immature WTE still sat in tree and an Adult WTE flew behind waterworks #LytchettBay @harbourbirds.bsky.social @narwhalsh.bsky.social

Female Osprey CJ7 (photo) flew directly over the boat on our first Osprey Cruise of 2025! Also spotted 2 WT Eagle, 29 Spoonbill, c 20 Avocet and a further 4 Osprey, including a juvenile. @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social 📸 - Claire Hilton

5H3 wasn't happy being at arms length so he moved closer and the pair happily sat together until I had to leave!! #LytchettBay You can clearly see the size difference with the 6C6 above 5H3 @harbourbirds.bsky.social

Brilliant work by @markwright12002.bsky.social to get the ID of one of yesterdays Ospreys in Lytchett Bay. 6C6 is a 2022 hatched female from a private site in Lancashire. Todsy is the 1st sighting of her since then!! Now to try and ID yesterday’s male…if we can find him @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social
