All quiet on the Osprey front but all delighted to be able to watch the NEW nest on the NEW cam. Thanks to all for the hard work erecting / installing both. You derserve a sucessful breeding pair this year for your efforts.
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.
My last post was left on the bottom of the last page! The calling is getting quite loud now. It must be wonderful to be in the FH or the VC just now.

It's definitely not last year's female, Mistle. She is too overall dark and not speckled.
He's above and continuing to call!
2021 16 April - a female with a ring clip - continental ring, not BTO - This isn't Mistle
25 April 2021
Today
I think last year's clip ringed bird and this one today could be he same... comments?

Well he's not handed the fish over yet but I'm posting these as it feels like a moment to capture. First pair on the new LG nest this year?

Just for the record and comparison

This IS difficult. I want to see her head markings before making a decision - or a close up today of that metal ring.
