It was great to hear that the 2 White-tailed Eagles that arrived yesterday roosted near the harbour last night and were still present today, viewed distantly from Slepe Heath out over the Wareham Channel several times. Thank you Tim Mackrill for the information regarding both birds ID, highlighting that one is G801, a 2021 released female and the other is G318 a 2019 released female. Frustratingly, recently arrived female G318 would have been a perfect match for recently deceased male G461, so we’ll just have to wait and see whether any other males make an appearance in due course and can be tempted to stay. Having two females present will be a good draw for any other passing eagles, begging the question, how many could we end up seeing at once over the coming weeks? Also out in the Waream Channel were 2-3 Marsh Harrier, 1 ringtail Hen Harrier and 1 Peregrine. Med Gulls are popping up all over the harbour now including small groups in Poole Park, decent numbers on Baiter at Low Tide, and lots out on Whitley Lake. There were still 2 Guillemot off Poole Quay.
