Hi!
This morning I met up with a workman who was
working on the telecom tower where the Ospreys nest is and he said that there
was 2 eggs in the nest. Which is great news, but what did concern me was
the time he and his mate spent at the top platform where the nest is. They were
there when I got there and after I left from Cupitts Winery / Wilford
Lane wetlands, so it would be at least a minimum of 2 hrs the birds
were off the nest which gives some concern. I don't know if there's a
procedure that is used when working in these circumstances or if it's even
followed but besides that , great news eh!.
Why we were at Cupitts wetland was that yesterday we seen a small tern
in the loose company of some Whiskered Terns. At first we thought it was a
Gull Billed T but it was too small and too far away. Had good views
today and we now are 99% sure its a non breeding White -Winged Tern.
