It’s been a strange year for the Osprey up at our summer place this year. Of the three locations I check I haven’t seen any young ?
It’s unclear as to why but my thoughts are it’s weather related. Perhaps all do to a late spring and then a long cold snap…this may have had something to do with the mating process and the viability of the eggs that may have been laid.
This all means that there was no chance of watching the young do their pre-flight flapping at the nest sites.
Hopefully next year will bring better results.
