They are back!
Last year I spent endless hours observing an osprey nest nearby. I had hoped to follow them through the season, from nesting to raising their young. I managed to get some nice pictures of nest building, mating, daily activities, but then one day they disappeared without ever having hatched any offspring. I then moved on to a different nest, where I actually was able to get a few picture of their single offspring, but it was just the picture of a head poking out of the nest. I had hoped to catch the first flight, but missed it. Well, they are back. Both nests are occupied, so I will give it another try. Now, if my Canon extender would have fit on my Sigma 120-400 I would have been really happy, but sadly this is not the case. I might just need to invest in the Sigma extender.
Here are a few pictures I took today. I will keep posting on this blog as things progress, so stay tuned.

Great photos Beate, you should take advantage and photograph them when they have babyes
Thank you. That was my plan. Last year one nest did not have any, the other had one. I really need to get the extender for my lens to get a bit closer.
Great photos Beate! Your patience is being rewarded – keep it up
Thank you, Maureen.
