Dunedin male:
I could be wrong but my photos from this nest from last year are of a green ringed bird but camera couldn't pick up the lettering. I think the male is the one who got trapped in the line that the fisherman left out all night, he was then mistakenly applauded as a hero for saving the bird, which he nearly destroyed in the first place!!!!!
Yes this is the article about it Lmac.

I could have photographed on the day he was released.

Wow, he sure did have a lucky escape if he is the same bird. I can sit for hours at that spot, it is just beautiful

Rather mangled (and belated) BBC report on new male at Bassenthwaite: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-17730317
No mention that YV is also the female's son, strangely enough... ;-)
The Wigtown Ospreys seem to be MIA See this thread
Yes, very sad indeed for Wigtown.
