I have just had a look at Sanibel cam and I see an Osprey has arrived. No idea who it is - is it Ripply from last year or a new bird. I remember last year finding a facebook/blog page about this nest but for the life of me can't remember what it was so can't compare images from last season, so if anyone else can remember......
The Caerlaverock pair - Yellow 80 and the unringed female are back!

You can just about see the ring on the left leg. He landed and got straight down to cleaning up the nest. pic.twitter.com/PhM2pBVZ41

I haven't seen any confirmation from Tweed Valley but a friend from the Borders told me that the unringed female was back 28th March and on here Mary and Alan posted reported sightings. Must be true ??? But I'm just wondering, has anyone seen confirmation about her return?
Osprey seen at Wigtown Bay. I wonder if it is EP?

Hot off the press from Lochter:
"Hi Alan, Funny you should ask, literally 5 minutes ago there was an Osprey on the nest!"
Hot off the press from Esthwaite Water :
"Spotted the Osprey twice whilst fishing Esthwaite yesterday. Believe she only arrived yesterday"

Hi tweeps, we & our osprey pair are back!
2 ospreys at Woods Hole - I hope they decide to stay.

Emailed Woods Hole this is the reply:
The pair arrived Friday afternoon and set right to work - none of the stops and starts from the past couple of years. Things seem to be going well; they’re cleaning and building the nest and someone sent me a picture of some Ospey lovin', so it's looking good for a productive season. We have a perch on the nest that is out of camera range, unfortunately, so just FYI, often when the nest looks empty, they’re sitting right there.
I was pessimistic that Woods Hole would ever have ospreys again. It was one of the early osprey webcams but in 2010 a very odd thing happened. The male did his share of incubating but the female did not do any incubating at all. Not surprisingly the nest failed.
