Poole osprey pair temporarily embroiled in love triangle (www.bbc.co.uk)

The relationship between the only breeding pair of ospreys on England's south coast has been temporarily complicated by the arrival of a second female.

Male osprey 022 returned to Poole Harbour on Saturday, whilst female CJ7 was seen back at the nest on Tuesday.

But in-between the pair's arrivals, female 1H1 - who normally calls Rutland home in the spring and summer months - also landed at the nest.

Birds of Poole Harbour, the conservation charity leading the reintroduction scheme, said 1H1 spent a few days on the nest before CJ7 "quickly saw off the intruding female".
