Rings or no rings I am becoming convinced it is Henry.

Now that would be an incredible story

They were both on the eyrie at 8.30am,looking very much like a happy couple.Could not get a good look at his legs,to determine who he is.

Great, I missed that by a minute

 

[Cartman]

Both on nest now

The male wants to be indentied, he is waving his leg at the camera

Is this the story of the year?? Henry is resurrected?

 

[Osprey Fan]

It would be wonderful if it is him, Tiger.

He flew in with a fish earlier and EJ grabbed it and flew off with it straight away, so was either comfortable with him or not fussy who gives her fish.

There was a mating not long ago too!

Bloody Typical..! Both birds on the eyrie just now,with their backs to the camera.How frustrating is this ? Or do I need to get a life...???

It definitely is him! What a story for the newspapers.

How are you so sure Tiger? No update on the main site yet!

I also think it could be Henry too.

Compare capture from this morning to one from 2007

The confusing things are the eye colour, they look more yellowish now, and the ring situation. Sometimes I think I see a ring on his right leg and other times none.

I don't think it's him, his eyes are more orange. Where was he last year if it is him? I really hope it is though

Fingers crossed, wish they would put something on the main site

Do you not feel better know before they announce it?

I know what you mean

 

[Saphire]

I'm with you Tiger, I think it is Henry as well there is just something familiar about him, I do hope it is Henry.

I managed to download a video of the fish delivery around 8am this morning and got my son to put it on Youtube, as that was quicker than working out how to put it on here! The action is all in the first few minutes, with the male exploring the nest for the rest of it.

The comments page on the blog has been updated but nothing from the team themselves, seems strange as they normally update us quickly when something important happens. It seems the male turned up around 5pm yesterday

The update is from Richard Thaxton the Site Manager at Loch Garten and states quite clearly IT IS NOT HENRY ( sorry Tiger and co)so at least we can put all that speculation to rest. EJ has a new suitor at least until OVS puts in an appearance o
