Of Interest? - Osprey Cam at Foulshaw Moss

[10 Bears]

I assume this will be of interest to some. There is a nesting pair of Osprey back at Foulshaw Moss Nature Reserve at Mill Side, Cumbria, and they have an excellent web cam on the nest to capture all the action.

 

The link to the cam is here

 

The pair are both locals to Foulshaw as they were both hatched in Cumbria, so its good to see them returning from their annual trip out to Africa to raise another brood.

 

No signs of laying as yet, but there should be a batch as they were caught in flagrante delicto just the other day...

I was also at a falconry show on Sunday, amazing to see the birds flying within touching distance (in fact the Harris skimmed my head more than once).

 

Some pictures below...

Grey Headed Kite.... (I think!)

Customer of mine has a nest about 100yards downhill of his house in the top of a dead oak tree and you can watch them from the conservatory. The same ones (tagged) have been back to the same tree for 5 years or so. They are awesome birds, so big when you see them up close. They feed off a couple of the local lakes/ponds and the fly fisherman get a good look at them when they hunt.

Thats great . thanks for putting it up . My nearest town is Chichester and the is a pair of peregrines that have been nesting in the tower of the cathedral for several years . There is a nest cam there and you can watch them in the cafe . Good stuff .

Osprey trying to nest in my wood but ravens driving it off repeatedly. Keeping sheep I'd rather have ospreys than ravens. Great aerial battles though!

Aerial battles are ace i was watching a Buzzard scrapping with two crows last night with our lads. Impressive stuff.
