An intruder Osprey with a tatty tail caused havoc at the Carey nest this morning, on and off for about two hours. 022 chased it while carrying a fish, CJ7 joined in, but it was extremely persistent. Amazing sight for the public group tour! @harbourbirds.bsky.social @ukoi.bsky.social

What a season for the Carey Ospreys! 🤩 With fledging being imminent, there’ll be plenty of action on the nest over the next few weeks - fish deliveries from CJ7 & 022 and the chicks first flights!

Join us on a Carey Osprey Tour to witness it live 👉🏻 www.birdsofpooleharbourbookings.co.uk/home/ospreys

The Hamworthy Snow Bunt is ridiculously tolerant - dogs within 2m. Currently at west end of beach huts @harbourbirds.bsky.social #dorsetbirds
20 plus Sanderlings at Shell Bay and round Pilot’s Point, constantly being moved by a stream of dogs and walkers. I know the protection area wasn’t successful but would notices asking people to give a bit of space work @harbourbirds.bsky.social
Dorset Bird Club would be more active on Bluesky if we had more volunteers to join our great team who do an excellent job on that other platform.
Very pleasant morning at St Aldhelms with Merlin, Red Kite, Yellowhammer and 43 RL Partridges #dorsetbirds
Red Kite at Swyre Head this afternoon, one yesterday at St Aldhelm’s #dorsetbirds
