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*
05 April
35 following YW in to collect her supper fish @ 20:12:
Oh no! As she inched forward to claim it, he flew off with it !!!
B35 soon retired.
06 April
She flew in early - to guard the nest?
It wasn't until this point that we could see it was she
06:10 (from a very gone-blurry timeline) YW at last parted with his fish, but it was a small breakfish from what we could see - it's in his right foot:
I hope that Patily will forgive inadequate coverage of one of her favourite nests.

022 with B35's supper flounder:
Off she flew with it:
09 April - first mating of the day, they both look well despite this convoluted arrangement:
Beautiful sunrise
Twitter this morning
B35 is such a pretty Osprey. She's standing on the edge of the nest calling for fish
I don't know if B35 received a fish but have just checked the cam and caught them mating!
Her crop appears to be full
Edit: There's a post/pic on chat showing a fish delivery at 11:13
@CWT/Foulshaw Moss
Yes, well caught Sandra, and thank you
12 April
Overnight was horrible, as thru so much of the UK:
I let both Cam1 and Cam2 run free for 25+ hours
(You couldn't do that with YouTube, all their live streams cut off your downloads @ 6 hours, which is good for undisciplined users like moi.)
So it's not surprising I couldn't find a fish, but other preparations for eggs are going well:
13 April
Nothing for today - as they changed their URLs without me noticing. On the LS right now is YW, I think:
