Day 15.232: Osprey calls

I've been pretty lucky with osprey sightings over the last few weeks, so I wasn't too disappointed to not see the ospreys at their nest near the trails where we'd seen them on our last visit. A little later we did see two ospreys perhaps having some kind of dispute - quite near us but through the trees so not a good photo opportunity. Before we saw them, we heard them - making a piercing high pitched sound and once we'd identified the sound we heard it several more times as we walked.

We also heard what we assume were chicks calling from this - a different nest from the one we'd seen before, but no adult came while we were there:

Here is an audio clip of the osprey calls - with a photo of the first nest:
