Well, after a couple of weeks it seems the Melodious Warbler has packed up its bags and gone. Of course it may have just moved area slightly (within the harbour?), but it definitely wasn’t logged at Middlebere at all today. The Quail in the south of the harbour near Hartland was calling again on and off throughout the day. Male and female Osprey CJ7 and 022 were on the nest cam again throughout the day with 022 seen in the Wareham Channel around midday. A Marsh Harrier was hunting in Lytchett Bay and 2 Hobby were over Hartland. The Poole Peregrines were logged teaching the juvs how to hunt with the female seen catching a pigeon and then dropping it for the juveniles, which is quite a spectacle to watch.
