All quiet on the Osprey front. Mistle started gently food soliciting, then quiet, then stood up to reveal.........
,, what appeared to be a half eaten rainbow trout! No doubt Scylla will be able to get a much sharper image than me. All this happened about 5:45. It was as stiff as a board. When was that delivered?
Afrer faffing around getting images 1 of them has come back to the nest and is incubating - can't tell which.
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.
From 07:30 onwards...
Oh Mistle, that's not up to your usual standard!
Axel didn't do any better but he was allowed to take over:
billy r said:AX6 has returned. I wonder if it was him she chased off
No, BILLY - it was AXEL who'd chased off MISTLE (if the unringed female bringing nest material was indeed Mistle).
But your heads-up was INVALUABLE, that was so fast I could easily have missed it when scrolling thru at one hundred thousand seconds a minute!
Whatever is the matter with these two?! They ended up OK
Meal break coming up here, SYAL.
IMAGICAT
4:37 Axel back to the nest sans poisson - changeover - he incubates and Mistle flies.
14:48 Mistle back to the nest witha stick. - sorry last post should have read 14:37.
