One of 9 (98) chicks is Blue OJ. Can you imagine an osprey called OJ ?
Tiger Signature
God forbid. If he/she comes back better call them Jo
This is a period this morning showing the developing relationship between Mrs5R and Blue28(10)... I've never seen an osprey defend herself like this, she lies completely flat over the nestcup, her tail fanned and flattened, no-one could possibly access the crucial area to mate. However, the descent of Blue28 changed her mind in an instant - did she have a choice or did her hormones rule?

I can't work it out :-(06(09) I think Karen though I am sure someone will put me right if I am wrong :) [/quote] It was 08(01), but then he didn't come back last year. 30(05) pair bonded with 06(09) but they didn't breed. I don't think we know whether 06 is back? Rutland have said all last year's breeding males are back - so it isn't very clear at the moment. No doubt we will find out at some point when they update on what's happening with 30(05), given all the interest in her now. [/quote]When 00(09) arrived back in March Rutland initially tweeted the she was a successful breeding female from last year. They quickly changed that to say she had pair bonded with 06(09) but hadn't bred. Has any info been released to say 06(09) had bonded with 30(05) or are we just putting 2 & 2 together?
