Thanks GP and Rose and Happy New Year to you as well.

Thanks also wren. I had seen the first site, but not the second. There's some chap here in Western Australia who keeps check on the Ospreys. I have an acquaintance who may be able to put me in touch with him if I don't have any luck otherwise.

Thanks Juney. I really appreciate it. With each of the forms I've seen there seems to be an assumption that the bird is dead or found injured. I wonder if the information on the female will be available to satisfy the curious.

There was no activity for the first hour and a half after I got there this afternoon. The shadow was already on the nest when the male arrived with a fish. That's Dad on the nest. Aussie's just visible at the bottom and side of the nest on the left and Mum's screaming abuse at the male and looking menacing as she starts to make her way down the branch.
