The Foulshaw webcam is now live.
Hope the ospreys use this nest this year!
Shifting, wriggling, rolling, shifting... tell us what's happening dear!
and trying to get a snooze in again
2016: first time in history an Osprey nested in the NL. 2018: 2 active nests! 2019 a storm interferes. 2020: a third active nest in a tree!
During the quiet spell, i must add it is quite breezy today
And we have a dad suddenly behaving atypical, a in hesitant to cover what is in that egg-cup...
moving in
but whaa where to leave my feet?! resort to wings then?
back down again, another try? nah, that stick needs moving
hmm hmm i should shouldn't i?
nope, scary stuf, i better stickyfy a bit more...
and lift-off, tail-end still visible in the snap...
not going far, hanging on the wind
one parent back on the nest
by the very certain way she moves in to shield what is in the cup, this must be 35...
Looks a bit gloomy and windy
Morning, thank you for all the screengrabs. Another fidgety start to the day.
YW arrives. Has he a fish or? He does. She gets up, and flies off without fish. Getting into the eggcup with a fish is not a good combination. Tricksy. Fish gets stuck behind a twig too. She comes backs, and straight onto the eggs. He start to feed, and he seems very ready to feed someone else too... eventually he flies off with the fish.

g
and after that last bite he is off...
Otter is that a hatching, just can't quite see?
Jane, i can't see it for sure either, but seeing the behaviour of the parents i would say it is in process and will probably be today, or well, it may have happened allready seeing the dad and his fish-feeding stance, but then the eggshells still seem so very much intact. It is hard to see from the cam.
