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......
how old are these chicks?!
Fish has gone, crops are full. Soon be time for a nap, unless the female decides to recover another fish.

I don't know TINA, younger than Dyfi I imagine.
Female took a short flight, cam zoomed out and Female returned. The fish is not finished yet!
She is tidying up the dropped pieces.

There is a big difference in size between the two of them.
Thanks STARLING. I didn't think they were very old at all. There is a long way to go yet, but so far so good.
Tiger beat me to it with the hatching dates :)
