Foulshaw Moss Ospreys
Both the nests are occupied again this year
Nest one the long-standing breeding pair are sitting on a clutch of three eggs
Nest two the first time parents of last year are also sitting on a clutch of three eggs
Nest two gives better views of the nesting pair especially when the Osprey brings fish for the sitting bird
