7:59 a.m.
Wrestling with a stick which isn't cooperating.

8:06 a.m.
Stopping for a well deserved rest.

I am trying to get as many s'caps of the top of it's head as I can so that we have something to compare.
The speed this osprey is coming and going it could well be two of them but the head pattern is identical each time.
If there are two of them I wish they would come to the nest together. It would sure make our job easier. But it also doesn't help when the wind is blowing and messing up their feathers.
Also, it does have a "necklace" but not a dark distinctive one that I would expect to see on a female.

Magpie makes a visit and flies off within a nano-second.

A visit from another magpie. Our O doesn't seem to mind that it's perched on the nest box. It is amazing how much they tolerate the magpies when there are no eggs or chicks on the nest.

For the past two hours I've watched the same osprey coming and going from the nest. I am certain at this point that only one has arrived this season. I really do hope nothing has happened to the mate and that it returns soon.

What happens if the mate does not return?
