Osprey Cam
The male returned and was tidying up the nest ready for his mate. A female, possibly not our regular female, arrived and the pair mated. However, they have not been seen for a number of days and sadly we think they have abandoned the nest this year. Our Osprey Nest Camera is up and running in the Visitor Centre Coffee Shop so we will keep an eye out, but it has been taken down from the website to save bandwidth. If the birds return we will put the camera back on the website, but it looks unlikely at the moment.
