We've managed to read the BTO ring number of the adult female from this years' live hobby nest camera. EZ92156. Ringed by DRSG in 2019 as a chick at another F.E. site 8.5 miles away. To think she will have travelled at least 50,000 miles migrating alone!

Poole (Dorset) peregrines have been very active in the higher nest box recently. Adult male and female spending considerable time at the box and the male recorded scraping. This year's juvenile male (HG) is still present. If he is still around in Mar/April will he help or hinder?...we'll see.

Time to put an end to this madness.
Hen Harrier Susie, whose chicks were stamped to death on a Yorkshire Dales grouse moor in 2022, has been found dead on a N Pennines grouse moor with gunshot injuries.
18+ months of silence about this crime from the police & Natural England.

Victorian attitudes towards birds of prey in the UK are fueled by sensationalist fear-mongering like this, published routinely by mainstream media.

Having been lucky enough to photograph Osprey at close quarters in the wild (not in a hide) I managed to get an extreme close up of their talons in action.The bird fished about 25’ away from me giving this view of its spicules which help keep hold of the slippery pray #osprey @ukoi.bsky.social #bird

Was out yesterday checking on some fledged hobby chicks from a brood we ringed on an urban fringe heathland site. All three chicks doing well. Won't be long before they head off on migration. The latest I have seen a family still at this site is 6th Oct. but most will be gone 2 weeks before this.

Lots of Osprey action in the Wareham Channel this morning, seen from the @harbourbirds.bsky.social Osprey Cruise. These two birds came closest to the boat. The White-tailed Eagle pair were sitting in their favourite tree for the whole time. @ukoi.bsky.social
