The Ospreys are back !!

ABM, don't know if you looked at the Kielder Osprey site yesterday but there a super short video of a young male landing on the nest with a fish, and then taking off again still holding the fish and his partner hanging onto the other end of it and being lifted into the air. Quite a unique spectacle I guess.

Did not see that Nell, but it is as it should always be --> take the Bride a decent treat and see the lift it gives her !!

OK I'll go get me PJs on   

Woken up nicely now, so had a peep at your Kielder videos Nell - some cracking good footage there more than capable of raising a smile without  my little humorless droppings  so I thank you 

I see that there's still no joy at Loch Garten. There have been Ospreys  seen in the area but none are inhabiting the nest. Such a shame.

At Poole Harbour the female is occupying the nest, and has even laid an egg but there's been no sightings of her mate.

Got the ( Good ) shock of my week this morning --  turned on telebox for early BBC 1  news and found an osprey looking at me . Loch Arkaig is getting good cover for their  osprey nest and cheering Brian up no end <------------------------------>

Louis & Aila have produced 3 eggs, laid on the same days as last year!! Chicks are expected from 1st June.

ABM, don't know if you've seen the report but a new nest site has been erected at Keilder and is already being occupied by a pair of Ospreys.

No , I've been otherwise occupied this week, Nell.  But Thank You  muchly  for the info

Brian

I see that the pair at Rutland have a couple of chicks already. They are the first of the recorded birds to have had eggs hatch,  probably because they were the first pair to arrive back in Britain.

Brian, just an update. The Rutland pair have now 4 chicks to look after, as the last one hatched on the 13th. They successfully raised 4 last year so hopefully they will do the same this time around.
