It seemed the conditions this morning were potentially quite good for a late spring migration fall, but sadly it never materialised and it was a cast of regulars today that made up most of the days sightings. We did forget to include the sighting of a Honey Buzzard over the Frome Valley yesterday which is of local significance/importance. Other than that it seems the next wave of Ospreys are now coming through ‘new’ with 2-year olds appearing at different sites across southern England, which hopefully sees another couple of our 2024 cohort appear to join their sibling ‘5R0’ who is already back mega early. Today there were 2 Osprey in Lytchett Bay, another seen in Middlebere and our 3-year old male ‘5H3’ was seen on a harbour nest platform briefly. There were 2 Hobby over the Piddle Valley. A random Lesser Whitethroat was singing along the Fleetsbridge public footpath.
