Lovely to see the male Black Redstart on our old Poole Quay office building this afternoon.  Over on Brownsea Lagoon, wader numbers sat at 40 Dunlin and Redshank, 8 Black-tailed Godwit, Curlew and Greenshank. The last remaining Common Tern chicks are still kicking around. We’re delighted to have two members of our team Brittany and Liv are heading up to Hen Harrier Fest this weekend to talk about raptor conservation efforts from down here on the south coast! Our Osprey chicks 5H1 and 5H2 are looking fantastic and fledging is imminent. They’ve continued to develop and grow over the last week are now pretty much full size! They’ll still need to put a lot of fat before leaving, but any day now should see them fledge the nest.
