Back to a bit of dross today in terms of rain and low cloud, but it did see the first ‘triple hirundine’ day as a result with 10+ Swallow west over the Carey floodplain, 1 House Martin over Wareham Common and multiple Sand Martin over Swineham this evening. An adult Yellow-legged Gull was in Holes Bay NE this afternoon, a species thats been pretty rare this last 6 months, plus the 3 Glossy Ibis were out on Wareham Common again. No new Ospreys today, but our local pair CJ7 and 022 got straight into their annual routine with nest building, fish deliveries and mating, highlighting that as it stands…..so far so good….plus, we heard from various sources that our other breeding female from our second nest, female 1H1 was seen yesterday near Chew Valley Lake (no doubt searching for her mate, our translocated male ‘374’, whom she bred with last year and raised 2 chicks with, but still hasn’t returned yet.
