The Ospreys are back !!

Here is another video of the 2023 season at the Poole Harbour project.

And so it begins again! The first of this year's Ospreys who occupy a nest with a video link has arrived!  NC0, the resident female at the Loch of the Lowes nest site arrived at 17:52 today, 9 days earlier than last year.

Something that may interest Osprey watchers whilst we wait for mates to arrive and nest building takes place.

The resident female, Maya, arrived at 15:58 today to her nest platform at Manton Bay, Rutland. This equals her earliest arrival on site, and now she is waiting for her mate to return.

Thanks for that link, WN.

We are staying here right now, Nellie and Maya's partner (seemingly named just "33") has indeed returned today! 

Yes he did, M, at 15:25 today, just the single day behind his partner, which I think is quite remarkable considering how far they will have travelled separately.

Hope you get a chance to see them both.

I wonder what she ‘said’ to her mate arriving later.
“Where have you been?” 
I’ll get my coat!😳

Maybe, as last year they both arrived on the same day, although a week or so later than this year!

Another Osprey visitor to the Manton Bay at 10:15 today, the female Blue 25(10) who is known to have dropped in on Maya in the past. Her nest is Rutland Site C on private land and her partner is B11(10).

Still no reports of other Ospreys having arrived at their respective nest sites yet, apart from NC0 at LotL's site, see above post.

It has been reported today that Blue 11 has been seen in the Rutland area, so that is a second pair to have made it back to their nesting area.
