It is probably fair to say that this year we have observed an osprey family like no one has before. Four 1080P High Definition cameras gave us unprecedented angles, literally, of the lives of Monty and Nora and how they fought against all the odds to raise a son. This week, we took all of the cameras down for winter testing and storage.
The image below, taken by Camera 2, is from April 6th, four days after Monty arrived back from Africa. Nora had already been waiting nine days for him; she was back March 24th. As they started the 'nestoration' work and pair bonding for another summer, little did they know that the weather that day was hardly going to get any better during the months ahead.
Come back a little earlier next year Monty - never a good idea to leave a woman waiting
