07:08:40 Kasse is back to the nest |
07:17 |
Patrick Mc Phail |
she's still hedging her bets and going from barge to shore and back. Needs to leave the nest, as the saying goes! |
07:17 |
Patrick Mc Phail |

Patrick Mc Phail |

07:18 |
Robin B |
lol Patrick |
07:20 |
Patrick Mc Phail |
I'm thinking she's only had on average 3 small fish in last 3 days? But crucially, all provided by herself |
07:20 |
Kristy A |
I want a fishy for her!! I want Mum back to fishing for her, Dad back from his break and for her to try fishing! |
07:21 |
Robin B |
that sounds good Kristy! |
07:21 |
Kristy A |
I want Dad to pitch in. Yeah she has. |
07:21 |
Patrick Mc Phail |
can't argue with that, Kristy! |

Hi Patrick |
07:24 |
Patrick Mc Phail |
can't remember if we were still watching Ospreys on this nest at this point last year? π€ |
07:24 |
Robin B |
I can't remember either, lol |
07:25 |
Kristy A |
Thank you Patrick, Alden. π₯° |
07:27 |
Vivian Steele |
Mum isn't going to fish for her after she has new chicks to feed so Kasse may as well get with the fishingif she wants to eat. |
07:28 |
Patrick Mc Phail |
lol Vivian! π |
07:28 |
Patrick Mc Phail |
poor Kasse, she's like the overgrown teenager who doesn't want to leave home! |
07:28 |
Vivian Steele |
Yeah |
07:29 |
Vivian Steele |
Make her a room in the basement. |
07:29 |
Patrick Mc Phail |
π |
07:37 |
Alden |
What would bring most joy Kristy would be she catches one of her own |
07:40 |
Kristy A |
Right! Agreed. |

Robin B |

08:33 |
emmyjay |
Chat at a couple other nests is intact. So it's random. |
08:34 |
Anne Rolfe |
If you stay connected to chat it's fine. It's when you close it and go back in it can disappear |
08:35 |
Robin B |
Oh okay @Anne Rolfe, thanks. |
08:35 |
Anne Rolfe |
@Robin B π |
08:35 |
emmyjay |
Yes, I know about that -- close/re-open chat, or if you go full screen and then back to normal. But also YT does just randomly messes with you. |
08:37 |
Robin B |
Of course, it's software, so... can't expect too much, lol |
08:38 |
Robin B |
I'm still amazed that we are able to view these live sites, from so far away. |
08:58 |
Kristy A |
Hello Emmy, Anne. Yeah it happens. |
09:02 |
Kristy A |
I hope Mum and Dad are out fishing!!! Love you Kasse! |

Hi all and Good Morning Port Lincoln |
09:07 |
Christopher Dean |
Has the Sound gone again or is Kasse just not calling for Fish. ? |
09:08 |
Robin B |
I don't have any sound @Christopher Dean |
09:09 |
Robin B |
Hello Christopher |
09:09 |
emmyjay |
I would expect to hear that annoying wind smacking the mic; don't hear it though. |
09:13 |
Christopher Dean |
@emmyjay Hi how you Keeping ? getting ready for our U.K. returnees soon. |
09:15 |
Christopher Dean |

it does look very windy. |
09:19 |
Robin B |
Oh there she went. |
09:19 |
emmyjay |
Whoa, Kasse is taken by the wind! |

09:18:10 Kasse leaves nest up diagonal |
09:20 |
Robin B |
then something else happened, did you catch that @tree ? |
09:21 |
Christopher Dean |
Her brother is with the older Brothers leaning the Ropes Wilko is doing Fine. |
09:21 |
Robin B |
maybe some other birds - they went too fast up and to the left. |
09:22 |
Christopher Dean |
Kasse is not on talking terms with the Gulls. |
09:23 |
Robin B |
@Christopher Dean - yesterday he was in Louth Bay. You can google it and see. should be a good fishing location. Wonder if he is still there today. |
09:24 |
Robin B |
Looks like its close to the Port Lincoln airport - hope he stays away from there. |
09:30 |
Patrick Mc Phail |
hopefully she's gone fishing π£ π |
09:34 |

@Robin B what else happened?? |

09:48 Kasse plop down on the nest to manage the strong wind. |
10:31 |
Kristy A |
Hello Christopher. Good to see everyone here. |
10:45 |
emmyjay |
Kasse away, not letting the wind taker full control. |
10:54 |
Kristy A |
Oh she's back out again. |
11:28 |
Fran & Bazz |
Yes we know the sound has gone again and no we canβt turn it on with out tech support. I am sorry but at this stage the issues with the sound are out of our control and are unlikely to be fixed fully |
11:29 |
Fran & Bazz |
Every time the tech fixes it there is a cost and it doesnβt last more than a day or two so please donβt ask. |
11:30 |
Fran & Bazz |
It will be thoroughly investigated as soon as Kasse leaves home and hopefully resolved for the next season |
11:34 |
Karyn |
Thank you, Fran, & Bazz. Makes perfect common sense to me. |
12:30 |
Kristy A |
Okay. Totally understandable! Thank you Fran!! |
12:31 |
Kristy A |
Aww Kasse. |
12:32 |
Karyn |
Kasseπ Wish I could help you. |
12:43 |
Kristy A |
Karyn, agreed!! If only I was out there! |
13:06 |
senna1965 |
!Hola! Ospreyistas and Kasse |
13:10 |
senna1965 |
Thank you Fran and Bazz. No point throwing good money after bad. As said a few days ago, yay sound, then oooft, cannot listen to Kasses' terrible singing, and everyone turns it donw anyway! |
13:21 |
Kristy A |
Hello Senna! Yeah! It's understandable!! |
13:22 |
senna1965 |
Well hello there Kristy |
13:23 |
senna1965 |
And at some point Ms Kasse will leave home and then PLO can get on the barge. I don't think I've ever seen a nest cam where the sound didn't cause problems. For me, as long as we've got pictures.... |
13:24 |
senna1965 |
The sond is a bonus as nice to hear the surrounding sounds, and singing; for a couple of minutes! |
13:41 |
Karyn |
I just wish that wind would STOP or mom would bring something. |
13:43 |
Karyn |
Last 3 days only 1/2 hour of meal each. Time to watch her PS again. She needs a good meal today..day 4. |
13:45 |
Kristy A |
Right Karyn, Senna! I So wish that too!!!! |
13:57 |
Lisa Belson |
Hey there @Kristy A @Karyn @senna1965 π€ |
13:58 |
Lisa Belson |
How's our sweet Kasse? She hasn't eaten much I see over the past few days π’ |
13:58 |
senna1965 |
Hello @Karyn hows yous? Scottish for how are you. Teaching my ES mate, as he is going soon. It's very windy there. |
13:59 |
senna1965 |
Alright @Lisa Belson |
14:00 |
Karyn |
Hi senna1965 and Lisa. Want this wind to stop so she can at least try. |
14:04 |
Lisa Belson |
Yes, me too @Karyn |
14:06 |
Lisa Belson |
I was hoping that she was building confidence with her fishing. She'll get there |
14:09 |
senna1965 |
They can go a long time without eating though. Not ideal, but the European osprey youngsters on first migration, some stick to the coast, to get to Senegal/Gambia in West Africa. Some take the |
14:09 |
senna1965 |
shorter route (ha, still very l;ong) and go across the Sahara desert. |
14:10 |
senna1965 |
And some of them don't stop, fly through the night. |
14:10 |
Kristy A |
Hello Lisa! Feel so sorry for her too. |
14:11 |
Kristy A |
Wow. |
14:11 |
senna1965 |
They must rest, but the trckers show they are nowhere near water, so cannot be eating. I will check on the Ron Dennis site, but thing eight days is the fastest migration |
14:12 |
senna1965 |
Am guessing they keep flying at night as cooler, and just want to get there. I think the desert crossing birds have much better survival rates. The ones that stick to sea crossings get blown off |
14:13 |
senna1965 |
course if the wetaher changes. More stable in the desert. |
14:13 |
Kristy A |
Wow. |
14:13 |
Kristy A |
Thank you. |
14:13 |
senna1965 |
Wow! Brain is working, and joined up with fingers. Six hours sleep, amazing after a week! |
14:14 |
senna1965 |
Ron Dennis' site has a lot of info on tracking, with nice charts, like they do here at PLO |
14:15 |
senna1965 |
Still typo city, but hey, can't have evrything! |
14:17 |
Kristy A |
That definitely does Senna! Thank you! It does! That's fine! lol |

Kristy A |
Senna lol |
14:27 |

No I di not, thanks @tree . Because had no internet since May 2024. Just odd 10 mis here and there, and Kristy gave me vital updates |

Happy to be of help Tree. ^__^ |

Was good to get them. I missed contact with my friends, nest cam and sport. Actually not bad not knowing what's going on in the world! |
14:52 |
Kristy A |
We missed you too. Oh she's out again! |
14:57 |
Kristy A |
Good luck Kasse! Don't know where you went to. |
14:58 |
senna1965 |
Yep, was not great Kristy. But got the nest updates and sports updates. Didn't know about who'd won elections, wars, etc. Sports and nests.Fine by me! Missed mates who don't live here, natch. |
15:04 |
Kristy A |
I hear you. I'm kinda curious if Mum's out. |
15:04 |
Hoshinow |
Hello everyone, has Wilko returned to the nest recently? |
15:05 |
senna1965 |
@Hoshinow No, he seems to have left home. Gone to college with the other lads, as Jewel said |
15:05 |
Kristy A |
Hello Hoshinow. Nope. He's out there, in prime fishing spots. |
15:08 |
Hoshinow |
Thank you senna1965οΌKristy A . Wish Wilko all the best. |

You're welcome! |

Hello there sweetheart! β€ |

Also they post on fb, sorry if you already know this. |

Oh *good*!! |

She's gone on another outing for now. |

Wilko is still at Louth Bay a couple of hours ago and lots of fishing activity from his tracker. |

Fran & Bazz |
Expecting the wind to stay up until about 7.00. Pm |
17:13 |
senna1965 |
Thanks Fran. Kasse can practice the Dad special, twilight fish. |
17:15 |
senna1965 |
Here in Southern Europe, we now have ospreys that don't migrate. AS the mainland ES and Portugese birds are all from the translocation projects, theire parents and grandparents have come from The |

Wow, the fishing activities can also track by the tracker? Fran mentioned it above. |
18:37 |
Bart |
I think she meant the pattern of his movements indicates fishing tree, it should show hight of the tracker also (but not in the pics we get) |
18:38 |
tree |
Thanks Bart, so it tells altitude? |
18:38 |
Bart |
it usually does, but I don't know the details of this tracker |
18:39 |
tree |
That is good, thank you, interesting. |
18:41 |
Bart |
Have you ever seen the webinars by Tim MacKrill? The altitude show how osprey manage to pass the deserts on their migration very efficiently |
18:42 |
Bart |
https://youtu.be/JXWgoSF-Yrk?si=jCv3E... this one for instance.. lots of info |
18:44 |

No I haven't, I heard birds get on the jet stream, when do migration thank you for the link!! |

Yeah that makes sense. |

Bart |
I've added the kids to the obs. The name of the kid catching the fish is in the species for now (on the fish chart) |
18:58 |
Bart |
I really don't understand it tree It's just amazing how they know where to go (or how they survive migration at all π ) |

Migration is very fascinating subject, just to put it in perspective Artic Terns travel any where between 44,000 to 59,000 miles a year |
19:20 |
tree |
Me too, migration is such a mystery and amazing! Wild animals and butterflies do with groups, it's spectacular to see! But Ospreys go one by one, that far, every single year, and come back |
19:21 |
Alden |
Puts it all into perspective doe'st it |

Hi Alden |

There is a butterfly we see every year here "Painted Lady" as many as eleven million have come to the UK |

Alden, is butterflies in UK still migrates 11 million? I often hear in US drastic decrease of the number of monarch butterfly migration. They are so tired and perch on our hands, so cute! |
19:42 |
Alden |
Hi Tree it's approx every ten years large numbers migrate 11 million arrived more than double left in the autumn |
19:43 |

Wow!! |

If you think someone calculated 11 million is amazing. |

I heard the method of count numbers of birds, and am trying, but it is difficult, lol. |
19:46 |
Alden |
There are groups that report sightings and calcs are done on these reports |
19:47 |

wow someone did count |

I was taught how to guesstimate bird counts when I worked for a natural history group |

I looking forward to the day when they have to guesstimate the Osprrey population in Australia lol |
19:55 |
Alden |
They are heading in the right direction Giliath, Bradley,Ervie still around no migration is a bonus, I hope the experiment with the FF continues for at least 5 years better still 10 |
19:59 |

I hope PLO is replicated along the coast there , at the end of the day it is all down to money |

As Fran and Bazz said |
20:01 |

Then, the next project maybe a relocation of female chicks. |
20:06 |
Alden |
If you get a spare moment google Crytochrome 4 protein , research is being carried out on how it applies to migration , still a long way to go but they are getting there |
20:06 |

I watched some manton bay shorts. One of them, dad brought in a jumbo flapping fish that dislocated a little chick, but someone able to put back to the nest cap. Whew.βΊ |

I know @Alden I replay conversations from my job, from years ago. Pointless in the extreme, and they aggravate me, as naturally you remeber the stressful ones. |

The close up of Kasse is a great screen saver for my brain Kristy |
04:00 |
senna1965 |
ut the replaying convos, they were bad enough the first time, why my brain decides to go through it agian, at 3 am, I could try to think why, but that would involve asking brain and as it's the issue |
04:01 |
senna1965 |
But not ut |
04:02 |

At least Kasse is getting a shower and the salt washed out of her feathers |

There will be some pretty agresive conversations when I do shut it down senna , god help them if I ever meet them |

The Ospreys are my life line and although I still do a lot of research they are questions I no longer need the answers to I am happy knowing they will never give up all there secrets |
04:12 |
senna1965 |
I had the same convo with Emyr at DOP a couple of years ago, as the two males who have been on that nest, no one knows where they are from as not banded. So Scottish or maybe Scandiwegian. But it's |
04:13 |
Alden |
Hope to see the returning ones here soon and listen to their amazing calls, we have several new platforms that will hopefully catch their interest |
04:14 |
senna1965 |
good we don't know. There is a northern osprey winter in Spain, he is smart, and realised doesn't have to keep going south! |
04:17 |
Alden |
As much as I want Kasse to leave I will miss seeing her sitting on the nest screaming her head off , mantelling a beautiful sight to see |
04:19 |
senna1965 |
Yes she is a fine looking osprey. But the northern hemisphere season kicks off soon. I love that we get to see them all over the world. |
04:19 |
Kristy A |
That is smart Senna! I agree Alden! Right. |
04:19 |
Kristy A |
I agree! |
04:19 |

They gave him a name and a nick name because he's back every year! |

Aww. |

Second most successful raptor after the peregrine , on all continents bar one |

Gtr Kitarr |
Talking about Muxar? |
04:23 |
Gtr Kitarr |
I kow Muxar was a wintering Osprey at urdubai, don't know if he is still there |
04:23 |
Kristy A |
Now I'm curious. |
04:23 |
Gtr Kitarr |
Urdaibai* |
04:24 |
senna1965 |
Indeed I am Gtr. No he will have gone by nw. His nick name is The Norwegian, as that's the guess as to where he goes, from flight paths, but no band so we don't know. |
04:24 |
Gtr Kitarr |
I know* typo's .. |
04:25 |
Gtr Kitarr |
π |
04:25 |
Kristy A |
Aww. |
04:26 |
senna1965 |
He must hang about somewhere else before he crosses because the Norwegain ones are late to breed. But as said, he could just go to France, or stay in Spain and go to Santander! |
04:26 |
Gtr Kitarr |
Urdaibai was also the nest with the albino Osprey chick a few years ago (didn't make it unfortunately) |
04:27 |
Alden |
They come and go Kristy, they bring so much joy and thankfully fill our memories full of goog |
04:27 |
senna1965 |
It was doomed from the start, but the other tow died as well. Heavy rain and cold and they were very little. They didn't breed there for a few years. |
04:28 |
Alden |
good* thoughts |
04:28 |
Gtr Kitarr |
Think we saw some migrating Osprey from the North hanging around her e in the Netherlands for about a month in Oct/Sept 2 years ago |
04:28 |
Kristy A |
How sad Gtr! Right Alden. |
04:30 |
senna1965 |
Yes, the adults seem to break their journeys and do it in stages. Whereas first timers seem to go as fast as they can. I guess once you've done it a few times, you know where's a good place to stop |
04:31 |
Kristy A |
Yes of course. |
04:31 |
senna1965 |
Stil think they should go as a family group though! Like the hobbies. |
04:33 |
Kristy A |
I agree!!!!!! |
04:35 |
Gtr Kitarr |
Yes the first unknown journey south (to Africa or South America) as a young Osprey must be the hardest. Once they get there,chances are better for them to survive |
04:39 |
senna1965 |
It just seems too hard for them, but obviously it's not, because some caome back. But I'm with Muxar! |
04:44 |
Alden |
I hope that we will eventually have them over wintering here, but that is a long way off and instinct cannot be overcome in short periods of time |
04:46 |
Alden |
I wonder if cross breeding ha scrossed peoples minds but that in my mind would be to much interference to suit human needs |
04:46 |
Gtr Kitarr |
"Our" Kingfishers don't migrate but depend on fish. Below zero temps at night the coming week according to the weather forcast.. Hope they make it with frozen ponds and canals for a few days |
04:48 |
Alden |
Time to get the hammer out Gtr lol |
04:48 |
Gtr Kitarr |
What do you mean about cross breeding? @Alden |
04:48 |
Gtr Kitarr |
Haha |
04:49 |
Alden |
using non migratory Ospreys with migratory Ospreys Gtr a step too far for me! |
04:51 |
Alden |
The relocation programmes must have an effect to a certain extent on Ospreys |
04:52 |
Alden |
Well beyond my pay grade Gtr lol |
04:52 |
Gtr Kitarr |
Ah okay, maybe the chicks would be confused too and fly North..π |
04:54 |
Alden |
I would not be able to begin to understand the consequense |
04:55 |
Alden |
consequences * |
04:55 |
Gtr Kitarr |
Pandora's box.. |
04:55 |
Alden |
At the very least |
04:59 |
Alden |
We have been successful with increasing the population in the UK and they are on their way in Australia, I will be happy that the Osprey population can reach a viable level in the areas they are now |
05:02 |
Alden |
PLO has been good some juvies still around could do with more des-res |
05:04 |
Alden |
Although I here that Bradley uses the roof of the house that was built where he used to fish if that story is true lol |
05:06 |
senna1965 |
For me I think the tranlocation can stop now. They are filling the gaps on their own. The ones project that has started in Ireland, other ospreys started to breed there, on their own. Ditto there |
05:07 |
senna1965 |
are birds Suffolk, Yorksgire, etc. Put the nest platforms up in the right places, and they come. May take a while but they are doing it. |
05:09 |
Gtr Kitarr |
Here in the Netherlands they don't really help the Osprey (with platforms.) |
05:09 |
Alden |
Have to agree senna we have given it a real kick start |
05:11 |
Gtr Kitarr |
Population here is growing slowly from the first nest in 2016 to (about?) 6 nests last season |
05:11 |
senna1965 |
The Irish relocation place is on the flight path that some ospreys take, but it's the Atlantic, so the hardest European flight path. If they head east they hit France, but adds a lot more km |
05:12 |
Alden |
I read somewhere Gtr that they are still coming across nests there |
05:12 |
senna1965 |
Just my opinion, but I think leave wild animals alone, just try to help them and stop killing them |
05:14 |
senna1965 |
All the osprey projects with platforms, and some with cams do fantastic work. Without stressing the birds. Just banding and transmittor day. Not picked out of your nest, sent in a box.... |
05:15 |
Gtr Kitarr |
We also had the (as far as I know) only non- human made nest with cam in the Netherlands. All the other Osprey cams are on man made structures. Unfortunately the Canadian Geese took over the Nest |
05:16 |
senna1965 |
Send for Queen Maya, she knows how to be a fierce bailiff! |
05:18 |
Alden |
The egyptian geese have already given their notice in senna |
05:18 |
Gtr Kitarr |
I'm fine with birds getting rings and trackers, I do understand others who just want the birds be free and without human meddling but I like (to see ) the data and be able to tell them apart |
05:21 |
senna1965 |
I love the bands, trackers, mixed feelings. But bands mean we know that Telyn - Dyfi, is Queen Mayas daughter. So watched her from an egg and think she's season 6 or 7 at Dyfi now. |
05:21 |

That's amazing |
