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......
Thanks Alan weather sounds a bit unfriendly there.
Found a new to me osprey nest yesterday at Hogs Island. Very good quality pics.
margo another osprey nest, I need another laptop to watch them all!! ;-)
Margo : I watched Hogs Island last year, it is indeed a great camera.
Madis is back in Estonia, no sign of Piret, Ilmar or Irma yet.

They have been mating since 2 April but yet to lay (I imagine this will be very soon) - I popped in on them on my way up to Aberdeen and White UF was sitting happy offf the nest whilst Green BF was back and forward with nesting material and flying around before settling on the nest.
Some non edited quick photos of today.
