Well I finally got back to the Osprey's nest today. It was a cold, wet day in Perth. When I first arrived, the female was on the nest. After a while she got up and moved out onto a branch and took her sweet time, having a luxurious stretch. I wasn't sure if I was seeing the chick, but there was this wet looking shape where she had just got up from. I watched and waited and I began to feel really apprehensive as this shape wasn't moving and it was drizzling and I thought if it is the chick and it's already wet, then being in the cold drizzle won't help things.
