Hi Folks,

What a wonderful Easter present. I looked at the nest cam this morning and nobody there, came home from work around 3 and there was E J relaxing spread out.

Henry's not daft he is letting his female do the house work again after all he is the one left with the chicks in September and does all the hard work feeding them all.

Like you all though, I hope he makes it back soon

Happy Easter to Everybody

As long as he does not mind bring up young ospreys that he has not fathered. Oh but he does mind....remember what he did in 2005 when he found EJ with a nest full of eggs! ;) ;)

Hi Tiger,

We remember well and we will never know for sure who was the father of last year's chicks but Henry raised them. I hope his timing is as good this year, I am sure we will all be watching over the next few days.

Hi Everybody,

I have just looked at the webcam and there are 2 birds on the nest EJ and ? can anybody identify him for me. I am hoping it is Henry but don't feel it is, if that makes sense.

I have lost all my photos from last year so nothing to go on.

Thanks.
