Almost all of the other nests in the area along the coastline in Dunedin, as well as the nests in the vicinity of Curlew and Alt. 19 are getting very busy with lots of nest building and aerial displays high above. It is shaping up to be a very good start to the new year for Dunedin's Osprey population.

The new year is looking good for the pair of Ospreys that have now settled into the new nest. For the past week now, the female Osprey has been sitting on the nest, while the male has been spotted nearby. The pair seem to really like their new home, and even have been observed sitting on the "perch" that houses the camera. Seems like they don't mind at all!

There appears to be only one fledgling but he/she is up jumping around and flapping wings.  He obviously is exercising getting ready for that first flight!

First fledgling... The first fledgling is up is very active!!!!  He/she is spreading wings and is quite vocal.  The parents are busy feeding and of course we all are anxious to see when #2 and #3 appear. What a shame the camera is not operational, but next year this time we should be seeing the whole process.....
