Mrs O lands at Tweed Valley Nest 2

20 March 2026

My goodness. The females are returning. First Blue 25 (10) at Rutland, then Blue NCO, and now Mrs O landed at 1813 on the Tweed Valley nest 2.

Lyn Brenig’s Blue 372 was spotted in Madrid on her way home. Last year she arrived on 9 April. Will she be early this year?

Glaslyn posted the official video of Elen’s return to the Glaslyn Valley osprey nest: https://youtu.be/7txltQQtzVk?

Heidi reports that Venice Beach and Golf Course ospreys have their first hatch.

At Lake Murray, Lucy and Newmann have their third egg.

Thank you to ‘VV’ for her keen observations on the Achieva nest and sharing them with us: “First, to answer your Achieva query from blog — I do watch them — I rewound yesterday (3/19) and Jack was feeding Jill fine — 2 deliveries of fish in morning and then an afternoon of sharing a big fish back and forth — Jack brings into nest,Jill takes; Jill returns after eating some, Jack takes; Jack returns with some, Jill takes, etc. Her third time w/ fish on this occasion she finished it off.

However, she seems to be alone in chasing an intruder that I caught a glimpse of yesterday on their nest perch, and the day before (?or day before that?) the intruder was trying to land in nest when she shot off the eggs and chased it.”

Thank you for being with us today on this first day of spring. Toby spent most of the day outside with me. Ann took Don to the zoo. The temperature was 4 C.

We cleaned up some of the winter dirt and mushy snow and rejoiced in the bright sunshine.

Take care.

Thank you so much to the owners of the streaming cams that allow us to see the lives of our favourite birds and to those who post information and videos so that we can learn and enjoy. I am very grateful. Also, thank you to ‘VV’ for the information on Achieva.
