As WHITE 14 is on his way, LATEST ON FACEBOOK from 10 hours ago. White 14 hatched Bassenthwaite 2013.
I thought we better get a new thread opened up in anticipation of the pair returning to Bassenthwaite.
Resident pair at LDOP are Female Blue KL and Male No Ring.

News from LDOP
"Exciting news! There’s a bird back on the nest which we think is the male. He’s been doing some DIY tidying up the nest site and making himself at home."
Now just need KL the Female to arrive.
Also an anxious wait for White14, and his long journey home.
edit -- I think he does not have his own nest yet, but was touring round mainly in the S Lakes last year.
On the LDOP website at ospreywatch.co.uk there is news of White 14, he was in Sardinia at recent download, so well over the Sahara, what a relief! Also a bit of a roundup of his earlier exploits, he is quite a character!
Thank you ChrisB - today's blog
