Thanks SCYLLA Fantastic news that YW is back I thought he might arrive later yesterday Ansolutely miraculous the way the pair tend to arrive on the same day

Great news they are both back, thank you.

A pair were reported on the lake at the weekend, so it could be the nesting pair, though no confirmation yet from the Lake District Osprey Project.

31 March

Long stick delivery - only from Cam1 - because, at that time, Cam2 was marmalised by the sun on spider's web and smudges.

Late lunch:

I'm not doing any more of yesterday for this nest, as it's getting get-go time for everyosp.

B35 waiting patiemtly S till lookin wet and windy

The Cam2 lens is already spiderfied, lord knows what it will be like later in the season:

This was the second (that I noticed) silly stick - so silly, I had to snap it in 2 parts!

Here was YW having to sort out that mess - and he came thru in the end:

Cam2 was OK when the sun moved away:

I feel quite seasick watching the Foulshaw Moss webcam this afternoon, the wind has been blowing. No screengrab as it keeps going out of focus.

Pre-laying preps seem to be going well,altho I missed a fish today (thru leaving it too long and having too much to go thru - yesterday's session was 23 hours uninterrupted of both cams!).
