We watched him from the pm Boph boat. He was flying low in Arne Bay cleaning his talons, then up the north Arne shoreline to Hydes Heath, before crossing Wareham Channel towards the Gull Islands. Photos to follow!

Due to high demand we will be putting on an extra Osprey Cruise this Saturday 6th September 2-5pm! Please note spaces are limited. Tickets are now available to book here: www.birdsofpooleharbourbookings.co.uk/event/osprey...
First wild White-tailed eagle to fledge in Dorset for 240 years Watching eagles has been amazing. With such a complex habitat mosaic, the forests in Dorset are able to support a whole range of specialist and rare species. See link more eagle info & congratulations to @forestryengland.bsky.social.
It seems the main players have all begun their migration south for the winter, so now feels like the perfect time to look back on a dramatic breeding season for the ospreys at Loch of the Lowes. Read the story of the season in our latest blog 👇 buff.ly/0OQTgea #BirdingScotland
