Osprey guessing games begin again
Guess what the resident Eastern Ospreys in Townsville Town Common Conservation Park are up to! Pictured quickie probably follow-up to earlier unseen breeding because pair returned to constant presence at nest some weeks ago. No prediction about outcomes. Past experience includes abandoned nests, sitting times more than double expectation and erratic feeding behaviour by the male. We'll just wait and see this year.
