Osprey Nest Cam – Port Lincoln, South Australia
You are watching a pair of Osprey nesting. This nest is located on a barge at the Port Lincoln marina.
Remember hatch/lay is always based on local time. Historically nesting starts in August with eggs being laid mid August to September. Then hatching in September-October.
2021 – Three eggs have been laid. 3, 6 and 9th of August. All three have hatched with the 3rd egg hatching on Sept 15th 2021.
the eggs didn’t hatch; they went in to gather them up for testing before the seagulls got to them… the Fish Fairy hat left on the post holds deep emotional meaning for them. it Is a gesture similar to a wreath…very respectful to the eggs and Mom and Dad. before leaving he left two fish for the mom and dad
waiting patiently for the babies to arrive….YouTube chat is talking about maybe the eggs not being fertile, I hope that’s not the case
