Firstly, we have a minor update on the condition and progress of Osprey chick ‘5H2’ which you can read about HERE. Thankfully, CJ7, 022 and 5H1 have all been back on the nest all day today without incident, so hopefully the juvenile Goshawk has moved on.

There were a couple of sightings of White-tailed Eagles in the Wareham Channel area today, but at the moment we’re unsure which ones they were. More migrants were passing through with Wheatears at Brands Bay and up on Ballard with the first migrant Tree Pipit of the autumn over there too. Also on Ballard were 10+ Willow Warbler, 5 Common Whitethroat and a Sedge Warbler. In Brands Bay there were still 4 Brent Geese along with 127 Curlew and 2 Whimbrel.
