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*

Posted on Foulshaw Ospreys’ Twitter earlier
Just to bump this thread up and for date info/pics and videos, I thought I'd post some links to a few of the blogs for this season, from the chicks hatching to fledging
14.6.23 >>> The Three Degrees
5.7.23 >>> It's another milestone...ID ringing
17.7.23 >>> Maiden Flights
Unfortunately, the cams will not be 'live' anymore this season. This copied over from chat -
26/07/23. Posted on Facebook: "Some slightly rubbish news from us. The recent heavy rain has damaged the osprey cam and it's going to remain off for the rest of the season.
We'd need to climb up to the nest to fix it and we can't disturb the ospreys, by law. So no more cam in 2023 but we'll keep you updated on our osprey family as best we can."
In addition, this comment above the LS screens
OSPREY CAM DOWN - unfortunately the osprey camera is not working, possibly because of the heavy rain we have experienced through July. We are not able to investigate as we cannot risk disturbing the osprey nest until all the birds leave in September. We'll be posting updates on the ospreys' activity on Twitter.
THREAD CLOSED.
