The webcam is not yet up and running but I've started a thread in eager anticipation.
Starling. Working for me and there is a tweet showing a bird on the nest earlier.

Birdies LG DU update.
Thanks Karen, it's working now :)
It came up with Stream Offline in big writing so I thought they had decided to close it down as the ospreys had chosen the other nest.

Blue AK1 has been on and off the best today. She's been fiddling and yanking up the growing grass and been chased off. But she isn't giving up and I've just seen a tweet saying that she has been seen mating. I can't post any grabs as I'm on my mobile.
Blue 7A a youngster from 2014 has been seen and this maybe the male but speculation at the moment.
2 Ospreys on the nest, one I think is Blue 35, no idea as to the other.
Thanks Jane .. well captured :-)
I had not long looked in on the nest and it was empty as it is just now so both must have flown.
A lucky couple of seconds Karen, just got a coffee and glanced at the screen.
Jane. Tweet answers your question I think. Well caught. I'd been checking since 6am and nothing!

@cumbriawildlife Blue 35 and White YW arrived together to camera nest, mated and left immediately 10:09 am #FoulshawOspreys"
Yes you did well to capture YW and 35 Jane, this is going to be very interesting to see what happens here, if AK1 and 7A stick around, will they be tolerated by the resident pair. Does anyone know for sure if these were platforms put up or were they naturally built Nests?
Probably Chrisy would be able to answer that.

Both nests are artificial, though the cam nest looks natural when seen from the viewing platform.
