A warm spring day for the final day of March. At dawn there were 3 Great White Egret and a juvenile male ringtail Hen Harrier. The migrant Ospreys seem to be sticking around with one bird still frequenting the Middlebere Channel and another bird at Morden Bog. Male Osprey 022 was seen fishing off Swineham Point. 2 Spotted Redshank were in Lytchett Bay as viewed from the Turlin Moor Viewpoint. 1 juvenile White-tailed Eagle flew over Carey’s Secret Garden this morning. No sign of the Forster’s Tern in Holes Bay today, but it could still be hiding somewhere in the harbour.

In other good news, the first wild-fledged White-tailed Eagle in Dorset for 240+ years has made it’s way up to North Norfolk. It’s been on it’s travels since fledging last year having spent time in Devon, Hampshire and now photographed up in Norfolk. It’s great to see this bird doing so well being such a historic individual for nature recovery in Dorset. It’s doing as young Eagles do, exploring the country before hopefully returning somewhere locally in a few years to think about setting up a territory.
