    I got lucky again this morning at Middlebere. I'm pretty sure this osprey was ringed on the right leg and carrying a fish. If so, probably CJ7. She didn't stay long, and exited pursued by four Shelduck!

    Well caught Alison. Looks like it's going to be your lucky year!

    I spent a lovely (if freezing) two and a quarter hours early this morning watching an osprey (probably CJ7) nestorising on the Middlebere platform. I've never watched an osprey for so long in this area. She was still there when I had to go! 

    For a short video, see this tweet

    Looking good Alison. I have a feeling you'll be spending more time there this season!

    Hard to keep away, Mike! (We so need a good male now though...)
