Ospreys move house!
April 18th, 2011
The Basenthwaite Ospreys have returned to the area, but instead of using their previous nest on Dodd they have decamped and set up a new nest on the West side of the Lake, not far from us here. This does mean that, for the moment at least, there is no nestcam in place – it was set up above the old nest. A good view of the nest can be seen through the telescopes at the Dodd viewpoint.
