In response to the demand for an osprey chat thread I am now making one for September 2011. I guess there will be quite a bit to chat about given the success of the extension thread.

A bit like June 5th 2011 then.
I've got this link to the ... Connecticut Audubon Society's Osprey webcam . The cam is faulty now and the ospreys have left but it's worth a look next year. They seem to have bigger broods and slimmer birds..I think it's one of those nest sites that's right by a river. Some software installation needs to be allowed to view the cam.
ps EDIT. Here is their home page with link to their osprey cam

ChloeB & Tiger's Osprey Data
TBOL Yes we have watched that cam since 2006 at least. They normally lay four eggs and have fledged four on three occasions I think. They love blue objects in the nest.
Yes we have watched that cam for a number of years BOL. They regularly raise four chicks in that nest and are excellent parents. They love the colour blue, once bringing a blue teddy bear to the nest, and the male feeds the female when she is brooding.
LOL snap Tiger :)
So that's how Tesco's carrier bags are recycled over there ;-D Yes, I saw that love of objects blue on their nest...:-)
Here it is.
Blue teddy
LOL Tiger, ok so yours is BIGGER than mine :))
