It was all about the raptors today. Both male and female White-tailed Eagles G801 and G816 were hanging out together in the Wareham Channel before heading off high over Wareham Forest. Also out over and around the Wareham Channel area a Goshawk was seen heading east and male Osprey 022 was seen catching a fish. There was also a new Osprey seen in the harbour today which was seen in near Wareham Forest and the Lower Piddle Valley, before then causing a bit of hassle in the harbour at the nest site. Also over the Wareham Channel were 4 Marsh Harrier, 1 Red Kite and 3 Peregrine were at Corfe Castle.
