News from Other Nests - 2023

Hi everyone..

To keep track of all the O's and other birds I'm trying to follow.. I set up a website with all the cams, including (whenever possible) position on the map, and if there are parents, eggs, chicks, etc on the nest (or fledged ofc).

Already 44 nestcams on osprey itself, but also some on eagles, hawks and falcons..

Hope it will help you keeping track (which is impossible!!) or at least maybe you'll find a nest you never knew before

Enjoy!

That's really useful - so many nests! Thanks Bart.

I see Iris, at Hellgate, arrived back at her nest yesterday

'Iris is home!
The Montana Raptor Project built her a nest on what was the parking lot of the Riverside Clinic in Missoula near Hellgate Canyon. She is thought to be 28 or 29 years old.'

That’s incredible Bart. What a work you do coordinating the tracking all of the birds’ nests. Thank you.

Iris must be a legend Sandra. Wow, 28 or 29 years old.

She is, Glider, though she's not had any breeding success since 2018, unfortunately.

Aw that’s a shame but not surprising I guess as I remember reading about LOTL’s Lady’s fertility decreasing in the last few years.

I’d like to think that Mrs G of Glaslyn decided she wasn’t up for having any more and so opted on retirement in sunny Africa to see out her days.  

Not sure if this has been reported but the Lochter pair who had 4 chicks last year are back

News flash - Tweed Valley’s Glen Blue 708 has been sighted in Morocco! Salek Aouissa, the president of Réseau Association Khnifiss, member organisation of IUCN, went looking on behalf of Sacha and Conservation Without Borders, and found him!

Glen’s in a remote area on a beach near a tiny oasis but there’re still many threats, power lines, industrial works etc. However the satellite data shows he’s active and fishing daily.

Rosie has announced that Samson is back at Border Ospreys. He was seen in the nest at 0600 this morning.
