Three of us went early Sunday morning to watch a nearby Osprey nest. We were rewarded by seeing the male bring in a large fish, and the appearance of a chick.
The male Osprey delivers the first fish of the day to his partner and unseen chick.
The female ravenously feeds herself and the chick while the male keeps watch. As far as we can tell, there is only one chick in this family. Photo by Cynthia.
When the female and chick have had a feast, the male flies of with the remains of the fish to eat it on a nearby piling. Photo by Dorothy.
Hello, I’m in Nelson this week with friends, visiting from Idaho. Is there a way to see more of the lake? We would take a tour if these are available, it would be nice to be on the water, see the ospreys! I’ve been enjoying Alastair and Cynthia’s photos for a few years and am happy to be here, Sarah Walker sarahwalk7@gmail.com
