Osprey nest
Life at the nest has been qualm this year. No fights between the young. Are they maybe all female? Also the whole family has been all female, as the male has been a rare visitor.
The date of migration is approaching, so I checked and found a site "Osprey Migration: Facts And Map". However, the link (of 2023) does not seem to work. Pity, as there was a map showing all migration routes from the Northern Hemisphere south. Because the link does not work, I am going to copy the map here without permission. It is important for you all and for us all to learn of the migration routes. Extra.
"Why don’t ospreys just nest in the south and skip the arduous 6,000km journey north? The main reason for migrating north is the long hours of daylight enjoyed there during summer." The writer Georg Anderson explains widely the whole migration process giving valid reasons to take this risky journey to the other side of the planet. Look at the map! The physical performance and the navigation are amazing.
