I'm confused about what's going on at the nest.
They have three grown up chicks almost ready to fledge.
Meanwhile they behave as if it was April.
They bring in nesting material, twigs and dry grass and mate.
Do they think that there is enough time for having a second clutch?
I guess they are fooled by the changing weather pattern.
Thanks for looking.

Karl, Interesting how they can maneuver such a large branch.

Due to the size of the branch, I initially thought the osprey was landing on a perch rather than carrying nesting material. Great underside view, Karl.

Nice shot Karl. That is a good size branch, maybe some disciplining tool for miss behaving youngsters :-)
