All the Osps have migrated now. We wish them a safe journey south and will be awaiting their return.
Thank you for following them and for all your support.

Thanks for that. Reduced feeding is a tactic to encourage both fledging and migration. Didn't seem a good day for the latter today! Anyone spotted YW or the cadging cousin?

YW still around delivering 🐟 to the hungry youngster, it seems YW is providing less frequently which may prompt the youngster to head off and fend for itself 🤞

Our mystery chick has made it onto the BBC website. The situation with YW feeding a foster chick is unusual enough to be newsworthy.

Rain, rain. Go away?
You'd think the Cumbrian weather would be a good incentive to migrate. But it's still here. In all seriousness, we really hope it has built up enough strength for the big journey. And gives YW a bit of peace before his!

White YW has breezed past last year's migration date (6 September) and continues to feed the unringed chick on nest one – sometimes at risk of losing a leg in the process! Surely both of them will be on their way soon...

Osper the Grouch, the chick that has imposed itself on YW, chases off a crow. To be fair, the nest doesn't belong to either of you!

YW is still bringing in food to the mystery chick who is then grabbing it without a by your leave. We've been in touch with local reserves but still no clue as to where it's from. Or when it's going!

The mystery chick is still here and still using the Deliverosp app to order fish from YW. This one must be due to migrate soon so YW can have a rest before his journey.

So many visitors to the #FoulshawOspreys nest this year!
What are you on about?
Our visitor this morning was 6C8, a 3 year old from a private site in Cumbria, probably on the first trip back from migration to check out the old neighbourhood.

Sunrise showdown.
Osper the Grouch shouts at a visiting adult, who seems unimpressed by the antics. This other visitor has a blue ring on its right leg, meaning it's English or Welsh (Scots have them on the left.)

Compare and contrast.
Juvenile Ospreys (L) have a 'scaly' appearance with white edges to their feathers compared to the adult's (R) more uniform colour. The youngsters' eyes are an amber colour, darker than the yellow of the grown ups.

Mine! All mine!
The ferocious feathered fish filcher guards a snack. We've not seen an intruder like this before. As YW instinctively responds to a begging call he keeps bringing food. Some of the resident chicks may have migrated now. To somewhere safer!

Ah, that's the spot!
After so much aggro lately from the irritable interloper Osp, here's something more peaceable. This is allopreening, where one crow preens hard to reach parts of another to help pair or family bonding. Back rubs for birds!

YW delivers yet another snack only for Osper the Grouch to then chase him off with a snappy lunge. Does "overstaying your welcome" ring a bell? We're still looking into where this crabby critter is from.

A little twist at the end of osprey season...😄
Cam watchers will have spotted this unringed bird trying to make the #FoulshawOspreys nest their own, bullying our young osps off the nest (including poor 7K0 here) & nabbing the fish that dad White YW has brought. Cheeky!

Young Osps are now skilled enough to eat in a tree like this one, silhouetted against the evening sky. It's not easy balancing on a branch while holding a fish. As you'll know if you've ever tried.
