I agree. So eithger the bird did have a colour ring which has fallen off or is perhaps a Scandinavian ringed bird. Only an extreme close up to the metal ring can answer that one!

From the bird's behaviour I would suggest there is a second Osprey in the air over the nest.

A male, BTO on the right leg, no Darvic has been in wales.
Too much coincidence to be two the same I think.

Now the bird is mantling furiously and the rapid opening and closing of the beak suggests alarm calling - definately a second Oprey in the vicinity.

On chat it was referred to as 'our Norwegian' bird. My memory fails me!! Have I forgotten something. Great to actually see an osprey, and to get the zoom. Thanks VC
Definitely another osprey around too.

It landed at 10.51 cam time and seemed to be looking around. A zoom on the metal ring suggests it's a clip ring, so European, and not BTO??

My thoughts exactly!
