AX6 Axel and his lovely unringed partner Mistle are bonding well, and Mistle has been threatening to lay an egg - we await developments.
It seems that Mistle has been on the perch & nest all night:

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.

You ARE joking Korky?
Just read the blog. You were NOT joking.
Just a gentle reminder: RSPB video on 4th May say in live chat: 'all will be revealed shortly about naming' Mistle. The FOURTH of May!
I can imagine my bosses reaction asking me when I was going to finish a project and me saying 'shortly' and she was still waiting 12 days later!
Of course an alternative explanation is RSPB video are not 'in the loop' and whatever they say might as well be ignored.

I have written a not-so-gentle reminder. Hope I don't get thrown out.
That's very kind of you, CRINGER, I feel safe now ;)
