One of our ospreys guarding the nest |
So understandably they must realise that the time is very close now for hatching out their first 2012 youngster.
We are hoping to have this years first hatched osprey chick in Scotland too, so hurry up parents and incubate those eggs!
Today on the nest the male brought a huge fish in to eat and this became a shared meal.
Our male osprey brings home the dinner |
We are expecting hatching soon and as there is news we will post it on the blog and via our twitter feed.
Nine years of watching this osprey pair raise their family and yet the excitement at hatching time never fades.
They are magnificent birds and we are all looking forward to see how many chicks they will have.
