Well, it’s getting to that time of year where Ospreys feature a bit more regularly in our sightings report, and although there are still lots yet still to arrive back,. late March and early April is a great time to encounter migrant Osprey passing through or one of the local pair out fishing. Today there were sightings of Osprey (probably mainly relating to our male 022) in the Wareham Channel and in Lytchett Bay, plus a migrant Osprey was seen heading over Branksome Recreation Group, heading towards the harbour. Just outside Poole, in Winton a White Stork flew low over the town and was also seen headed towards the harbour, and if that madness wasn’t enough….at 11:30am this morning there were 5 White-tailed Eagle seen soaring high above RSPB Arne with 1 Marsh Harrier. My my, how times have changed. On Brownsea today the adult Yellow-legged Gull was seen again on the lagoon and there were 2 Spoonbill there again.
