RUTLAND OSPREY PROJECT 2015

Thank you to the kind member who just phoned me to tell me I'm getting my mandarins and mallards mixed up... I was already having doubts, honest ;-)

Thanks for sharing your experience M

My pleasure

All the wishful thinking in the world doesn't make it look like an Osp Scylla!! Lol

Am I a confirmed ospreyholic if, when I pull back the curtains and see a thick mist, my immediate thought were "Oh no, how will the osprey see any natural landmarks that they use to navigate".

I looks as though the sun has broken thru at RW.  Not so here, some 65 miles away.  (If I've said I was 50 miles away before, it's because I haven't actually checked!).  And it also looks as tho Mrs EG is making herself a nest cup.

Oh no, look who just drove off the EGs:

Strange, they didn't stay long and the EGs were back in a trice :o  In the same positions, as if they'd never left :-D  Oh, they're defending now:

Will these 2 EG's give up the nest easily when the osprey arrive?

They'll have no choice!.
