After the excitment of last Tuesday, we have not seen any sign of HJ or indeed EP visiting the nest. The local ravens have been regularly hanging about the nest, and have taken to removing all the twigs that were brought in by the ospreys last week. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed for next year and hope that one of the males returns to the nest.
After an absense of about a week, the peregrine falcon has made an appearance again today. Happily sitting in the sunshine on the Tower for Remarkable Raptors day. At high tide, a large flock of about 200 curlew wheeled over the merse edge and are now happily munching on the exposed mud.
