It has been reported that Eastern Ospreys have been nesting for many years at St Georges Basin, on the Shoalhaven. North (1912) quoted a report of a pair nesting in a lofty gum tree at St Georges Basin. As there were no confirmed reports of Ospreys ever nesting in New South Wales south of Lake Macquarie I suspected that the St Georges Basin report may have referred to a nest of the White-bellied Sea-Eagle. I was told recently that Ospey were nesting there in the 1970s and therefore the North record may have been a good one.

Does anyone have confirmed records of Ospreys nesting at St Georges Basin in the past? Photos would be great!!
