25 April 2023

Bea and Jasper have settled in nicely to the rhythm of incubating their two eggs. The first egg was laid April 12th and the second was April 15th. From past history the pair usually sees a chick about 38 days after the egg was laid which should be around May 20 - 23. So it should be another five weeks until the nest has little chicks wiggling about the nest. 

The nest itself has taken shape compared to what it was at the beginning of the season. Back in 2017 a crew secured hardware cloth underneath the fence platform to prevent eggs and chicks from falling through as that has happened in past years when the osprey's nest wasn't up to par.
