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 for the photo Connie, it makes it easier to understand.
Maybe here is a better picture
Tiger Signature
thank you for the picture Tiger, this nest has me glued at the moment. Hopefully the team will come up with an easier way to enable Nellie to get at the fish. She looks soaked at the moment when I looked in on her a few minutes ago.
Delivery of fish due in next 50 minutes.
The above link Connie posted of Silverlake's Flickr photostream contains three pics of the nest and pulley system. This one shows how tall the nest pole is. No wonder they need a bucket truck to reach the top.

Cam gone off air. Perhaps they have arrived!
The cam is off. Action?
Snap Tiger :)
Switched over to video whilst they work.
Fingers crossed for this nest. It's been a real rollercoaster this year....Manton, Alcoa, Dyfi, Lowes
Edit - not forgetting the Slimbridge crane chicks
