The male - circling in the sky above the nest.
The female waiting in the tree.
The nest. On our drive tonight we spotted these two osprey in the sky above their nest. The nest was on the edge of a logging block. We wondered if loggers have to be considerate of such things when they see them and that's why there was still a small stand of mature trees around it? We will assume so. When we shut the quads off - there were no peeps that we could hear coming from the nest, they are probably still sitting on the eggs for a few days yet, osprey incubate them for close to 5 weeks. They also mate for life. Awww. How romantic. It was a nice sight to see.
