In Dorset, England, a female Osprey known as CJ7 recently laid her fourth egg in a walled garden near Wareham. This event marks the third consecutive year in which she has produced a clutch of four eggs. CJ7 returned to the nest on March 25, 2026, and was soon joined by male Osprey 022. Their nesting site has been established at Careys Secret Garden since they began breeding together in 2022, following a year when CJ7 encountered competition with another female in what has been described as a love triangle. This successful nesting pattern is significant as CJ7 and 022 are the first ospreys to breed on England's south coast in 180 years. Over the past three years, they have successfully raised young broods, with results showing three young in 2023, four in 2024, and an additional four in 2025. The organization Birds of Poole Harbour, which has spearheaded the reintroduction of ospreys to this region since 2017, views the consistent laying of four eggs as a remarkable event for the recovery of the osprey population in southern England. The eggs laid this year are expected to hatch towards the end of May, adding evidence of the ongoing success of the reintroduction program aiming to establish a stable breeding population in the area. Young ospreys typically migrate to West Africa after fledging and return several years later to breed. This cycle contributes to the revitalization of the avian community along the south coast, with planned relocations of up to 14 osprey chicks from Scotland annually facilitating population growth.
