Peregrine Chick (male) showing me his New Bling and back in the nest box safe and sound…at this stage they still looks cute and cuddly.
Looks can be deceiving as we found out.
Perhaps the three most aggressive little terrors with attitudes we’ve had in a while…lots of grabbing, clawing and biting.
It’s beginning to turn into a disappointing year for Osprey.
First noticing that they seemed to have returned somewhat late…then it seemed they were not consistently seen at previously used nest sites.
It’s been a real hit and miss as far as sightings and not seeing pairs together.
Having also heard similar reports from other areas indicating the same.
Now with many unanswered question running through my mind …what has happened to the Osprey this year ?
After the male had departed the site he soon returned. At first it was unclear just exactly what he was returning with…definitely not a fish or a branch for the nest.
Turns out that he decided to add a clump of sod/grass…interesting addition to a stick nest.
