Poole Harbour ospreys: Webcam shows male osprey after return

The male of the only breeding pair of ospreys on England's south coast has returned to his home in Dorset.

Osprey 022 arrived in Poole Harbour exactly 365 days after arriving back last year, following his migration to West Africa.

He and female CJ7 became the first nesting pair on the south coast of England in 180 years in 2022, after being introduced in 2017.

She is expected to arrive back in Poole at the end of the month.
