We now have a second Egg with possibly a third on the way. A fantastic clip of the Male Ospray fishing

Oooo this is getting exciting bounce

and did that Osprey drop the fish and then catch it again or was that my eyes playing tricks?

Sitting quietly on the nest - yesterday was a beautiful sunny day there, wish I had taken a photo then.

Thanks Lai for the update, and photo. My connection went up the wall this morning, just after I'd done the W E photos. I could'nt get on any of the cams. I saw a BT engineer up the road later working on one of the junction Boxs, and it seems ok now so perhaps that was it

Thanks for checking WS. I wonder how often the male comes in?

Lai

**whitestarling** Fri Apr 29, 2011 4:40 pm

I dont know Lai, but was in just when I checked

I nearly got him flying off, but the click was just a fraction to late

WS

**Laikipia** Fri Apr 29, 2011 6:22 pm

That's the only problem with Mwsnap - a bit of a delay! But good timing on your part WS.

Great to see the male there looking after her.

Lai

**Laikipia** Wed May 11, 2011 8:56 am

She's still there and SK hasn't reported any chicks yet

Glad she is still there Lai and we haven't missed the hatching. Thanks for checking on her.

**whitestarling** Wed May 11, 2011 10:46 pm

Thanks Lai I have'nt looked for a bit
WS

**whitestarling** Thu May 12, 2011 12:55 pm

I think she's waiting for her mate to bring dinner

Whilst I was messing around with checking the cams that now do and dont work on my laptop and pc the male flew in and fed her this morning, but i didnt have the time to get a photo. At least we know he's looking after her.

Thanks for checking WS

Lai

**littlewid** Thu May 12, 2011 11:34 pm

Glad she is ok and that her mate is looking after her well. Thanks for the update Lai.

Thank you for the updates WS - that really is tragic news. Not something I can comprehend, the shooting of birds of prey.

This is awful news. Do adults stay away from a nest that long for any other reason? Is it natural for mating adult to abandon the nest? Logic tells me no, but then I think of Lily abandoning Hope and how that turned out.
