Kielder Ospreys - 2018

Update

Thanks JAYDEE Lovely visitors

Many thanks jaydee.  Brilliant to hear of another IDd visitor.  At four years old, I wonder whether Blue CV9(14) has bred this year, or whether he/she is just slowly heading south.  I am delighted to hear that you have had twelve ringed visitors over the season.  Do you have a detailed list which you can share?

What a lovely mix of 'other' visitors you have had too. Such beautiful footage of them, which just goes to show how varied your wildlife is.

Have you ever seen footage of a pine marten?

It seems unlikely that CV9 bred this year, Sheila, as the Kielder record is the first report since ringing. 

At some point I'll make a table of the intruders/visitors for a page on the blog. All of them have been mentioned in posts. For consistency, it should probably be 10 identified ringed visitors as 2 became the breeding pair on Nest 5 and I don't usually count breeding birds calling elsewhere during the season!

If you mean has a pine marten been seen on one of the nestcams, the answer is 'no'. 

Thank you so much for your response, jaydee. Let's hope we see CV9 again! Good to hear you have no (delightful) PMs on any of the nest! As lovely as they are it is not what we want to see there!

Thought you would be hibernating by now JAYDEE!

Update!

Great news.Lets hope for a successful return next season.

Thanks, JD--good news!
