Spring and nesting is in the air as the Ospreys get busy.

female drops a new  branch in the nest


male sits and waits while mama positions it properly


mama sticks her head up and seems satisfied


the male jumps out of the nest with his reward for his patience - a fresh piece of fish


male flies off to enjoy his meal in the wind and solitude.

Most likely the Fountain Street Osprey's. I know they have returned. If it is those ones, we should be expecting Khalli to be posting some great fishing shots. Great spot for I/F and diving pictures.
But there are so many out that way it is hard to tell. Loads of Osprey on and around the Grand.
