Another blissful sunset saw just 1 Short-eared Owl around the Hartland area this evening and the ringtail Hen Harrier was  again seen at Middlebere. The female Peregrine was on the Asda building in Holes Bay, but no sign of the male it was displaying with a couple of days ago. Hopefully he’ll reappear and a pair bond can be formed here in Poole. In terms of suitable nesting sites there are plenty of options but it would great to be able to find a location to place a nest box up if we can. The male Black Redstart was still in the small courtyard behind the Thistle hotel, we wonder if with all this glorious spring weather, whether it may start singing some time soon? At Arne the Spoonbill flock has now reduced to just 9 but there was a single ringed bird on Lytchett Fields too.
