I have been checking the couple of Osprey nests that I follow for the last week now. Spotted this female Osprey sitting on the Borland Pit nest on April 19. I stayed for about half an hour and she did not leave the nest and the male had not put in an appearance. She appears to be looking for him or else protecting the nest from being taken over by other migrating Osprey new to the area. This is as close as I could get the property as this is an active gravel pit and they do not want anyone venturing onto the property for a variety of reasons safety being one of them.
