Nesting Diaries
Still one chick left on the nest, attaching photo.
As of this morning, the 3rd chick has fledged and is flying off and back onto the nest.
As of early today the 2nd chick has fledged. One to go!
Not sure what happened or when, but there are now just 3 chicks in the nest. They range in size but all are quite active.
Looks like all four eggs have now hatched, hooray.
A little hard to see, but pretty sure that a 3rd egg has hatched.
Two chicks have now hatched, and Dad brought home a surprise toy (see photo).
Saw the first chick in the nest early this morning! Since then the female has been feeding it non-stop.
Wow, there are now 4 eggs in the nest.
There are now 3 eggs in the nest!
Saw two eggs in the nest on the webcam!
Both ospreys continue to be present, working on the nest and also mating.
Saw two birds on the nest cam this morning so looks like the female has arrived.
First sighting of a male on the nest cam this morning. Also observed a 2nd osprey trying to land, but the first bird wouldn't let him. Looks like a competing male and not yet the female of the pair, so will have to see what happens.
