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 thought she might but decided not to cover it today - it's not as if we can see any eggs. Thank you for the news, Alison
The rejected nest had a little Greenfinch for us:

BBC Breakfast are going to feature CJ7 & 022 sometime during the show, which ends at 10:00.

Unknown said:they needed better advice. Three eggs laid yesterday?
I typed a scathing comment along the same lines but deleted it - I could imagine some readers thinking "pot calling kettle black". lt was embarrassing for the presenters and the BBC, I thought.
So I FF'd thru all 4 hours of the programme but couldn't find any more enlightened report, just the same few fumbling words, always emphasising "man-made nest".
Unknown said:I'm sure they were given correct info, but probably didn't have time to read/digest it.
Don't make excuses for them, ALISON - you're too nice
They did a disservice to PHOP and to Ospreys.
Fancy me missing it, tho, at the very end - but I was going at 32-speed.
In the eantime, I'm wasting my time listening vainly to cambumps on #1:

I didn't find a fish (been travelling too fast, too many nests waiting) but did find quite a lot of togetherness:
I did come across this tho - at first I thought that CJ7 had taken something "mucky" out of the nestcup and was alarmed, but maybe she'd cast it up herself:
I hope this spider doesn't settle in and add to our difficulties!
