    Returns at 15.27 and looking anxious, Half mantling her wings, Is it another female or at last a male? 

    Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

    15.30 - certainly our female and another Osprey on cam together. She flies off and returns quickly mantling.

    By the 'clunking'; next to the microphone she has returned to what appears to be her favourite perchg out of cam shot. With no sound of a skydancing vocal display intuition says the second Osprey was female. I hope I am wrong and the second bird is now away fishing and will return with a fish for her. Fingers crossed.

    15,56 She is back on the nest I from her behaviour the other Osprey is still in the area. The Sunday roast is buyrning, but to paraphrase 'Gone with the wind' - 'Frankly, I couldn't give a damn.' Let it burn.

    Looks like this was Rutland 2018 female 3AX, who was also seen in Wales last year.

    *Good

    Even though I suspected female, the encouraging news is that there still appears to be 'unattached' Ospreys in the area. We just need 1 to be a male!

    We can but hope, CRinger, but realistically we may have to wait for one of our translocated males to appear.

    Well done Alison. I've had the cam on slomo replay to try to really see that number, but I just can't. Well done CRinger for your excellent exciting commentary! Thank you both. Presumably she has not long returned for her second year in search of a nest. Better head north to Rutland, where females are desperately needed, unless things have improved this year!
