As there has been a sighting of an Osprey at Bassenthwaite, I thought it would be a good time to start this years thread.

All the chicks have officially fledged off the nest!
Both males got a head start with the first male U8 fledging on the 07/07, the second male U6 fledging on Friday 14/07, and the lone female U7 fledging on Saturday 15/07. She seems to be a lot more cautious and is not straying too far from the nest spending most of the day perched just off to the side of the nest tree.
Thanks ALAN More progress
