Hi everyone, I'm glad you've found the thread. I spent nearly three hours there today, but although I could hear the ospreys at the end of the bay, they didn't visit the nest or even fly about.

A pair of Rainbow Lorikeets has been spending a lot of time below the nest, sometimes disappearing into what must be small cavities. Occasionally they'll bravely venture onto the top of the nest when it's vacant. It's reportedly not uncommon for other species, specifically cavity nesters, to use the base of the nest to breed in. I think this pair may well be staking a claim.
