FOULSHAW MOSS, LAKE DISTRICT NEST OBSERVATIONS MAR 2020 TO END FEB 2021

Every 10 minutes it needs clicking. Not doable.

That is great quality, looks clearer than the webcam Scylla.   When she looks straight at the camera she looks quite a pretty bird.

EDIT: Forgot already that you had already said she was a "pretty bird", I am getting quite forgetful now with all that is happening at the moment, self isolation and all that.  Whew! 

She is back again and moving the soft furnishings around. 

On approach her feet were in clutching mode but I couldn't see anything in them - but she's been doing a little nestorising:

Yes Mary, I have been watching her too, there doesn't seem to be much missing at this nest, looks in good condition.

I'm getting quite alarmed, Mary - but I guess we must make allowances for an extra source of stress at this time :)

How lovely to have another back.  She is indeed a very pretty looking bird.  

and still not showing her leg.  An earlier pic looked like 35 to me, but I can't say on this occasion!

I looked in earlier and the nest was empty, but there was a large Osprey shaped bird in the tree off to the right.

I have put an arrow on the picture pointing out the branch where it was perched

Probably worth keeping an eye on

Richard, that was definitely B35, I watched her fly onto that branch where she stayed for some time. She eventually flew to the nest and finally displayed her ring when she perched on the left side of the nest. I think she is using that branch quite a lot at the moment.

I'm checking thru for sightings in between long black patches - and I omitted from the video the corvid flying off just before the osprey arrived at 14:20 - the corvid had flown in from that very branch :)

Later it or the osprey was on the relevant branch:

Defnitely the osprey flying in but from the "wrong" branch of the right tree:
