Another big push of Osprey through the harbour today with 10+ active throughout the day across the Wareham Channel, Lytchett and Middlebere, including Carey 2-year old 5H6, an unringed adult male and female and unringed juvenile. The White-tailed Eagle pair caught their own huge fish in the Wareham Channel today and although interested in the Ospreys never quite found the opportunity to give chase. They were joined by a 2025 immature G607 from the Isle of Wight who was soaring over the Wareham Channel before heading towards Longham Lakes. 1 Glossy Ibis was on the Keysworth shoreline. In the Wareham Channel on the low tide there were 14 Greenshank, 4 Knot, c80 Dunlin, c200 Black-tailed Godwit and 15 Avocet. With the rain we’ve had there’s a few more pools forming on Arne Moors and here there were 3 Green Sandpiper, 1 Greenshank and 1 Common Sandpiper in the River Frome. On Wareham Common there were 2 Whinchat, 1 Wheatear and 3 Spotted Flycatcher.
