We had another intruding Osprey at the Carey nest today who landed on the nest while 022 and CJ7 were also sat there. She turned out to be Rutland female 3H9 back again, when she appeared on another nest platform in the harbour with 022. She’s been seen at a few other spots around the south coast over the last few weeks, so hopefully, she will stick around and could be a future local breeder! 1 Hobby and 1 Red Kite were over Wareham Forest today. Another Hobby was seen flying over Swineham gravel pit. At Holton Heath there was the, sadly rare within Poole Harbour, sighting of 1 Marsh Tit calling. Also present were 3 Spotted Flycatcher, 3 Tree Pipit and 2 Woodlark.
