After yesterdays excitement, it was all quiet on the western front toady, with no re-sightings of the new Osprey pair anywhere in the harbour. However, this afternoon, an intruding Osprey appeared at the nest site and spent the late afternoon and early evening pestering CJ7 and the family, which resulted in several quite incredible aerial battles, before the new arrival was soon seen off. We’re not sure who the intruding individual was, but hopefully it will visit another nest platform over the coming days. Elsewhere the White-tailed Eagle pair were in the  Wareham Channel area all day, a Hobby was calling at dusk near Slepe Heath and there were a minimum of 8 Nightjar tonight during over Nightjar walk. The first migrant Garden Warbler was ringed at Carey Secret garden this AM with another juvenile Sedge Warbler.
