A New Year

As winter draws to a close, and the geese begin to leave Galloway, we are eagerly awaiting the return of our ospreys. Last year our 'old'  male failed to return, but our female H/D arrived and occupied their nest. Then a very young male, EP, turned up. He was briefly ousted by an unringed male, but by mid-summer it was clear that EP was going to stay. He only turned 4yrs in June, and was clearly unsure of his role, but he stuck with H/D and the nest until  the autumn, although no eggs were laid.
Now all we can do is watch the nest, which has survived the winter storms, and hope!
