The Ospreys are back !!

Voracious brutes. Thank goodness we don’t have them here. If they were around there would be no fish in the Tamar. And without fish the heron would leave us.

What utter tosh EuroT. If you were lucky to have a pair then how many fish do you think they would take each day? You're more likely to lose your fish to pollution rather than 2 Ospreys.

Your comment is reminiscent of the late Richard Ingrams hatred of Buzzards. They'll only hold territories that will sustain them. They're not foxes that just kill for pleasure.

Another of the Rutland Project Ospreys, male Blue 30 (10) was seen yesterday fishing on the River Gwash.

What do you mean, voracious? They only eat what is needed. They are apex predators and as such are very few in natural numbers. So few in fact they will have virtually nil effect on the fish populations. In fact their presence may help healthy stock and stock numbers exist. That’s how balanced ecosystems work. We should be aiming to improve the likes and restore natural symbiotic relationships.

Report of a sighting of another potential returnee, with an Osprey seen yesterday at 2:30 on the nest at Threaves! 

Sightings of Osprey at Poole Harbour over the last few days but no webcam nest action yet. The pair of White Tailed Eagles are also showing well in the area. Must get down there soon.

Any news on the Brenig Ospreys? Some will recall that appalling act of vandalism enacted by idiots a couple of years ago. Let’s hope for better things this year here and across the UK and an improved enlightenment and tolerance towards raptors in our general public.

Eurotraveller you need to read up on wildlife, it is remarks like yours that we are losing ours.

No Ospreys yet at Brenig, micky, but quite a few other visitors!! Here's a link if you want to follow the nest news.

Link, Nellie? 😉
