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*
28 March
An Osprey landed 06:08 but kept its back to us, only stayed a couple of minutes.
Then 2 arrived - hung around a very short while, YW touched on her back and flew on, she waiting on a perch and flew off - ENS currently.

She's back, Blue 35, the resident female
Forget my above comment, the darvic is on the left leg, therefore she's a Scottish Osprey

Just saw that on Twitter, Richard
I wonder who she is?
Hurry home, B35...
In the morning the unringed female thought she was in for a cosy day:
Not much action on the nest thru the day, then in the evening...
YW flew in with a headless fish, probably to shoo off a corvid - unsuccessful. Then a strong-looking Scottish female landed and when YW returned she stole his fish. He was on 'n off after that, I couldn't see where they both ended up.
