It looked like a rock to me, as well at first, but there's something odd about it. I didn't see it today as I was down on the low path and looking up at the nest rather than down into it. I'll take my binoculars next time I go and see if I can get a clearer idea of what it might be - if it's still there.

No, no coconut groves down this way, Lily_love. We're way not tropical enough to support them. Old Ma Osprey is frequently in my thoughts. The normality of last season really brought home just how unusual things were during that first season that I watched them. Regarding Harmony, the last time I am as certain as I could possibly be that I saw him/her, would have been back in June.

From this afternoon. Dad on the branch and Big Hook on the nest. She was really relaxed, as was he. Every now and again he made these really soft little sounds, so quiet that if you weren't "tuned in" to ospreys, you'd never know it came from one of them.
