Start of a new year so start of a new thread.
I have changed the title slightly.
It could be a momentous year when, hopefully, our resident Ospreys return.

I wasn't looking, so when it went off it never returned, cos I dared not put it on auto.

My pleasure, Cirrus. Here is another one, from today. Some good flapping from 5H1 (I think!).
Today's family portrait. Left to right: 5H1, 5H2, 022 & CJ7.
They seem to have survived the heat well so far with plenty of wing flapping from the chicks this evening.
