Female Blue 35 - Hatched 2010 - Kielder 1 nest
Male White YW - Hatched 2008 - Bassenthwaite
Last year, Female Blue 35 arrived first, at 1pm on 30 March 2022, followed by the male White YW at around 7.30pm that evening (in 2021 they both returned 26 March).
Hoping for their safe, spring migrations and another another successful season.
*In special memory of Starling (RIP) and Patily (RIP) who both loved watching and reporting on the FM nest*
Some of the early morning activity which was finalised before my crash - including AW skydancing for Scotty Lass (sorry, MARY, but we don't know the ring number so it's a convenient and fitting name - and I did say she was strong ):
I'm packing up now, SYAL.
IMAGICAT
He's not going to get very far without bringing a fish ! Anyway, hurry home B35. Thanks Scylla

FM Twitter: Confirmation of Richard's ID post yesterday
Thank you, SANDRA!
YW flew past and then in with a headless fish, waited on the nest for a minute or two and flew off with it over the back of the nest. No-one else seen.
I didn't see BlueCE all day on the 30th, but did have rathr a lot of outage time.
YW was in 'n out but not very frequently.
31 March
Presumably this was YW, he only stayed a couple of minutes and hasn't been back yet. (From 360 cam, which may account for the unusual wing.)
Big rain blob obscuring most of Osprey on the right, sorry, but there are two Ospreys on nest
Thank you EA
