Maybe she's decided to stop off and give Spain a try this year! After last summer's weather, could you blame her?! Joi, are there any records of Ospreys making a really big change in their summer quarters?

You mean that she might have stopped off in Andalusia?

I suppose the nearest to that is Green 5S who hatched at Bassenthwaite and ended up in Norway.

The latest news available is that the weather in Spain is only just becoming 'Spring-like' and that could perhaps account in someway for the later than usual 'homecoming' by many of our Ospreys.

The staff at the Dyfi Osprey Project have been in contact with 'the man' Roy Dennis, he advises them that many of his Scottish Ospreys have still not returned and reassured them that there is still time. I can only hope that by this time next week Nora and Monty will be busy spring cleaning their nest :t:

Another Osprey has shown up this afternoon, sadly it was another male that Monty chased off.

Still Ospreys arriving in the UK...so hurry up Nora - we're all getting a bit anxious now |!|

It wasn't Scraggley was it?

 

[WHIMBREL]

Scraggly seems to have been suggested, no positive ID though, and Dai Dots is a possibility...all conjecture really.

If she could be there by Saturday that would be great

Still seeing the odd osprey crossing the Straits of Gibrltar but we have strong easterlies here and some birds do not like to cross although the osprey is more than a match for a little wind.......Eddy.

I would imagine that Rothiemurchus is due through about now

 

[eddy the eagle]

I will keep my eyes open for him tomorrow when I shall be watching the Straits....Eddy

Look out for an osprey with a tracker.

There is a FEMALE on the nest at the Dyfi right now, and it is ELIN! This is the female that hung around for a couple of days about 2 weeks ago! The trouble is, Monty is down the estuary fishing! Hurry up Monty!!

Elin is on the webcam now - http://www.dyfiospreyproject.com/stream

Absolutely marvellous...but what happens if Nora turns up :eek!: :eek!: :eek!:

She will take Elin and tell her to shove off in no uncertain terms and then give Monty a spanking.

There are a couple of Ospreys hanging about down south wales so there's still time for her

Has anyone else noticed this problem? It's only started since the sound became available. After watching the webcam, I close the tab/window, but I can still hear the sound! This doesn't happen on any other cams that have sound facility. How does the sound still 'get through' if I've closed the site?! It's spooky!

I think we got to give Nora another 10 days before deciding that she is not coming back.

No that does not happen for me.
