:smilie_wet_150: It is sweet they both returned to nest together. Marge is chattering at nest ... 7Y came and they mated. Wishing good weather, happy nesting - - - and some nice photos. :treehug:

Marge is at nest a beautiful spring green around her ... Now she calls the 7Y and soon he arrives with the fish, Marge flies on the branch to eat. Also 7Y leaves the nest.

... Now they both are on the nest... 7Y flies off, Marge stays... and camera changes for night... Marge starts chirp and call.

Goodnight both. :hanger: :offtobed:

Good morning to this lovely couple! It is raining still quite warm highest 15°C and lowes 11°C today.

Lady-Marge and Laird-7Y are now taking care of on its own and another. They have to feed them selfs properly after then migration.

Yesterday they have mating 13 time. http://wildlifevillage.co.uk/
So we can maby see the first egg at 15. -16. 04. It takes circa 2 weeks untill the egg is mature to come out.

Lady-Marge did call Laird-7Y again, and he did cam and there was mating. So ospreylife gos along!

She is calling again, pleasant!

:confetti: Our brave and lovable Marge "The Legend" has laid her first egg for this season :confetti:

Lots and lots of luck to this nest, Marge and 7Y :treehug:

:4U: Robbo, thank you much! Is so wonderful to see self-photos taken in natural surroundings.

Is that the Nest of our Marge? Would be nice to know, from what year it is? It looks lovely and so familiar, fine to see the nesting pair in the nest!

These single ospreys photos.. this with a fish displaying osprey , whole sky on a scene. What a marvellous play! Just great!
