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......
KAREN/PATILY - Was wondering myself regarding Caerlaverock as I think they are up next on my listings - Thanks for the update of "No eggs yet".
I was trying to Copy and Paste a post from Caerlaverock page but RF......
Gist is, that when male stood up earlier this morning the 3 eggs still intact but they thought hatching should be any time soon
Caerlaverock - no hatch as yet. Some captures taken a few moments ago during changeover
Female returning from break
and gives eggs a good inspection
No visible cracks :-( Femals settles down to incubate
The Caerlaverock Osprey Project is a joint project with WWT, FCS and SNH. Webcam:
No further comments from Caerlaverock
Tweed Valley's new osprey diary is now up and running. Link to first blog: "Incubation and intruders at the nest"
Must admit, I am sort of disappointed with this as it doesn't really tell us much about the ospreys or even when the eggs were laid!! It does however confirm there are 3 eggs in the nest.
Karen - Been waiting around 7 weeks for TV. I agree it was almost like a DU Page - We will have to wait and see how it pans out. Thanks for the link.
The Tweed Valley Info Officer has had a load of problems this year because the normal Diary page is being revamped. Full credit to her for getting a new blog up and running.
Jaydee - Thanks for the post explaining the problems at Tweed Valley - much appreciated - and therefore a credit we have a blog.
I guess we are all spoilt by the exceptional pages at Kielder :).
No further news Male is panting so must be warm up there

Day 38 and still no hatching at Caerlaverock. Capture of changeover a few minutes ago when the female returned.
