I'd been posting in "Forum Friends", here's a snap brought over, for the sake of starting this thread with something!

I managed to get a profile but s/he is determined not to reveal anything useful:
I can't remember where Tweed Valley was posted last season.
Tweed Valley updates were posted on the 'News from Other Nests 2021' thread, Scylla. Thanks Alan and Valerie for the news :)
Thank you, SANDRA!
Here's BARNEGAT LIGHT now!
Valerie D said:Now is this the place I wonder for Tweed Valley news ?? I shall repost elsewhere if not , the tweed valley webcam is live and osprey there - it looks like it is the resident female known as Mrs O , she just has a metal ring and no colour one . Remember this cam is off and on due to location , this is the link www.camvista.com/.../forestrycommission.html
i couldn't get anything helpful - they've obviously put the cam on the wrong side
Less than 2 hours, it didn't pick up again once it dropped out, it should automatically pick up when it's back online. Anyway, here's the departure we did get:
Visarend - this cam is rock steady, what a shame it's not populated by any of our birds:
BARNEGAT LIGHT - Male is ringed ("banded", as they call it), female not - I didn't see a fish or a mating, but did hurry thru rather:
CAPTIVA
Lena warned off a Pelican:
TWEED VALLEY
Cam back on 10:00. An unringed Osprey landed @ 10:48, flew off in a glitch (after looking skyward) @ 11:00.
VISAREND
Problems with the cam overnight and it went down @ 09:37 (local time, 1hr ahead of us) this morning.
Things must be going well - the chicks couldn't be bothered to get up for this lovely whopper, so Lena had a good meal:
BARNEGAT LIGHT
Yesterday one of the Ospreys was out on the Cormorants' posts, today one is on the shore while the other solicits vainly on the nest - then later, a clash, don't know who is who:
What I'm calling the Cormorants' posts, unpopulated at the time:
With the new Arkaig Two coming online today, it's getting beyond a joke. I am having to drop:
Barnegat Light
Captiva
Visarend
I'm sure everyone is devastated but thought I should broadcast that, in case anyone thinks they can ask me to check something and I won't be able to.
