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.

Lynette D said:have we got a link to cam as I can't get one up.
I know you 've found it now, LYNETTE, but I've done a list of all links to access cams in the OP of Osprey Chat - I'm going to have to amend the title to be self-explanatory, so thanks for the nudge
More little birds in the afternoon - this is just a sample, there were definitely Coal Tits as well and I haven't finished looking yet.
Please will someone kindly put me out of my misery re the first 2 birds. I've even tried Crossbill for the reddish one and have no idea about the grey one, tho I've done lots of googling.

Sorry about this, it belongs in a nursery moreso than here:
Gosh, it's super-frosty now:

Thanks for checking, Mike!

Thank you very much, TREVOR and BLUESKY2 !!!
As I said, I looked up Crossbill - but as so very often, I couldn't match the birds to anything I found. I was hoping that experienced real-life brdiers would come along and help, and that's exactly what's happened - I'm so lucky and thanks again, both!
Sun-up this morning, then for a while it was blue sky with cotton-wool clouds, then grey all over and rain:
No little birds yet.
