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.

SheilaFE said:7.20 Axel came to mate and was strongly rebuffed by Mistle
That's putting it mildly, Sheila The violence of Mistle's reaction caused the front of the nest, already sagging under the weight of the rain (presumably) to completely collapse!
He tried again just now but I haven't looked at that yet.
Oh, she went to the campost and he's now trying there... and I don't think it worked there either.

Thank you, SHEILA - I can't watch and work at the same time ;)
Meal break here now.
If there is to be an egg I think it could be in the dark hours!!
Time for me to think about dinner. Hopefully I'll be here more tomorrow.
She's been unusually quiet for the last hour, despite no fish since about 3pm (?). She's just flown to the perch
