Our hot weather continues - and is expected to for some time to come. Fortunately there was a gentle sea breeze this afternoon so I went to the nest for the first time in a week. I saw an osprey flying low and silently below the nest and could then hear sporadic calling from trees down by the river, both to the north and to the south of where I was sitting.

Whopper eventually arrived with a flourish on the branch below the nest that is favoured by Dad during the nesting season. It was unmistakably Whopper because of the demanding calls she made during her hour long stay on the branch.
