ewein2412The osprey's mate arrived this morning. They have been at it all day. We stopped at the osprey hides again on our way back from ringing and everyone there was beside themselves with excitement. He doesn't stay in the nest the way she does, and I got a great view of him swooping over the loch.
that nest again
She is 23 or 24 years old. Ospreys are thought to have a lifespan of about 20 years, so when she turns up, year after year, having found her way back again god-knows-how from North Africa, and lays more eggs and raises another chick, it's just... Oh. It makes me cry.
