He’s back! 022 arrived back on the Careys Secret Garden nest early this morning at 5:40am. He has since been showing well on the camera both in the nest and then catching a sea bass at about 10:30am which he then ate very slowly on another tree in view from the camera. He was still eating the fish at 4:30pm! Incredibly this is exactly the same day he arrived last year, taking into account that it is a leap year. We now await CJ7’s return who is due back on 30th March. You can watch the LIVE webcams here:

Elsewhere in the harbour there were Red Kite sightings over Fleetsbridge and Hatch Pond today and a Goshawk over Lytchett Fields. Osprey were seen in the Wareham Channel and Brands Bay this morning, including catching fish with the bird in the Wareham Channel likely being 022. The Great Grey Shrike is still present in the same spot, just north-west of Woolsbarrow Fort in Wareham Forest.

022 back on the nest this morning!
