Nanny, the five weeks will fly by. Already it's day 12 (almost 13 here).

Burn, I'm so relieved our Ospreys don't migrate. I can't imagine what it must be like, waiting to see if the same ones return to a nest. We can rest comfortably knowing that the family don't stray far from home base and the juveniles are heard and seen up to three months before the parents begin a new season.

LOL, Rose. No, I haven't climbed the tree. One of the things that protects this nest is its inaccessibility.

Burd, if frequency was the criteria for the number of eggs laid, there'd be dozens of eggs in the nest. LOL.

Ospreys are renowned for bringing strange objects to the nest. This appeared a couple of days ago. I have absolutely no idea what it is. Maybe a piece of fibreglass. It sure doesn't look as if it's a natural material.
