Ringed Osprey seen 10.35am in the Wareham Channel from boat trip with @kayakpoole.bsky.social & @paulathorpe20.bsky.social. Thought it might be 5H3 from the timing but underwing markings look different from photos of him by @markwright12002.bsky.social. @harbourbirds.bsky.social @ukoi.bsky.social
Distant view of White-tailed Eagle with fish flying across the Wareham Channel this morning, pursued by two Ospreys (maybe a fish stolen from one of them?). Seen from boat trip with @kayakpoole.bsky.social & @paulathorpe20.bsky.social. @harbourbirds.bsky.social
Female Osprey CJ7 caught a fish on her 4th attempt at around 11.30am in the Wareham Channel, seen from boat trip with @kayakpoole.bsky.social & @paulathorpe20.bsky.social. @harbourbirds.bsky.social @ukoi.bsky.social

Wonderful CJ7 gave a lovely flying display while fishing in the Wareham Channel. Will be sorry to see her leave on migration @harbourbirds.bsky.social @dorsetwildlife.bsky.social @dorsetbirdclub.bsky.social
