The pair returned in March and have spent several weeks rebuilding their nest, which was almost completely destroyed during the winter storms. For the last three weeks, they've been bringing in sticks and sitting on nearby branches.
We haven't seen any activity here for several days. We are worried, thinking that the nest may have been disbanded. There were several osprey flying in a circular pattern over the area, but none sitting on the nest or in the tree. The four flying overhead left the area after about 10 minutes and didn't return while we were there.
Ricky is presently bringing lots of new twigs to the nest to spruce up the place. Lucy is sticking close to the nest but doesn't appear to be sitting yet.
