25.01.2022 2021.01.07 - 109 & 108 days old - Dew was home alone when Mum delivered the fish but Solly was right behind her. Dew has the fish in his talons and makes several attempts to knock Solly off the nest - Such a turn around from when Solly was in charge.

25.01.2022 Visitor to Port Lincoln Sandy Horne photographed the Wanna nest which is about 20km away. The photos show 2 adults and 2 chicks, the pinnacle the nest is on and Sandy wishing she had a bigger lens. Thanks for sharing Sandy

24.01.2022 2021.01.07 - 109 days old - solly has been over to Boston Island for a look around.

23.01.2022 2020.10.21 - 31 & 30 days old - Dad is trying to make amends for his late breakfast this morning and brings in supper for Solly & Dewwho are not really hungry after their big feeds today so Mum has a chance to have a good feed.

23.01.2022 2020.11.30 - 71 & 70 days old - Dew still on the nest, Dad on the perch and Mum & Solly checking out Dad's 'mancave'.

23.01.2022 2020.10.18 - 28 & 27 days old - Dew must be a girl - she was trying on a necklace today.

22.01.2022 2020.10.21 - 31 & 30 days old - Both have full crops but Solly is still not happy sharing.

22.01.2022 2021.05.21 - Mum is back on the barge today having a feed. Hope she approved of the clean up!

22.01.2022 2020.11.30 - 71 & 70 days old - Don't think it will be too much longer till Dew fledges - just hope it's not tonight!

21.01.2022 2020.10.26 - 36 & 35 days old - Dad delivers a BIG fish. Should keep the all happy today.

20.01.2022 2020.12.01 - 72 & 71 days old - Solly & Dew watch while a yet to be ID'd bird flies down and attempts to take a Cormorant out of the water. Not very clear shots as they have been taken from the security camera. Any idea's on what type of bird it is?

20.01.2022 Maybe this is where they fish by the lights at night time? Thanks for sharing Max

19.01.2022 2020.11.12 - 53 & 52 days old - Think this fish will keep them busy for quite a while.

18.01.2022 2020.10.19 - 29 & 28days old - Never ceases to amaze me how Mum knows Dad is on his way in with a fish long before he arrives.

18.01.2022 2020.11.28 - 69 & 68 days old - Dad delivers breakfast and Dew is quick off the mark to grab it but Solly decides this fish is for her.

18.01.2022 2021.01.06 - 108 days old - Solly has been venturing a little further out today.

17.01.2022 2020.11.12 - 53 & 52 days old - Still windy & still practising.

17.01.2022 2021.01.07 - 109 & 108 days old - Dew took his time to eat all the fish on the rails.

16.01.2022 2021.05.20 - Shark Cage Diving - Calypso Star Charters took their boat out to the barge today to help tidy it up, wash the solar panels and get rid of that dreaded green rope from the nest. The 'man cave' was moved so that we can see it while still being able to view the nest and perches. Mum and Dad sat on the masts of the nearby yachts watching us work.

16.01.2022 Calypso has been spotted near Tulka, which is approx 10 kms from the barge. Great to see her looking so good and moving around the area. Thanks for the capture Michael Aird

14.01.2022 2020.10.20 - 30 & 29 days old - Dad was too slow catching breakfast so Mum went off the show him how to do it. He was spotted near by but hadn't been successful.

14.01.2022 2021.05.22 - Mum is enjoying her fish on the ropes below the nest.

14.01.2022 2020.11.12 - 53 & 52 days old - If I was learning to fly I think I would pick a nice calm day to start off with but Both Solly & Dew like the windy conditions to get some air under their wings.

14.01.2022 2021.05.18 - 240 days old - Solly is still very happy with the fishing at Eba Island. Still no sign of Dew.

13.01.2022 2020.10.21 - 31 & 30 days old - Think Mum is happy to be back catching fish - or she is just showing Dad what he should be doing.

11.01.2022 2020.11.29 - 70 & 69 days old - Dad delivers a fish which flips over the side of the nest. Mum returns with it and Solly claims it as hers.

11.01.2022 Out and about counting birds for Birdlife Aus Backyard Bird count and found our beautiful Calypso out fishing. Calypso for those who are new is the 2019 Chick from the Barge. Its wonderful to see her almost a year later. I think perhaps she is moulting some of her feathers are a bit ragged.

11.01.2022 2020.11.28 - 69 & 68 days old - Mum delivers this fish and Dew holds her own to keep this fish from Solly

09.01.2022 2020.11.26 - 67 & 66 days old - Solly goes for two quick flights early this morning.

09.01.2022 2020.10.17 - 27 & 26 days old - Their crops get so full they can only waddle around the nest. Growing so fast now.

09.01.2022 2020.10.26 - 36 & 35 days old - Another late night delivery from Dad - nothing better than going to sleep with a fully belly/crop.

08.01.2022 2020.12.01 - 72 & 71 days old - A poor clip of the bird attempting to snatch a Cormorant out of the water.

07.01.2022 2020.11.30 - 71 & 70 days old - Solly is testing out the landing spots today. She even spent some time down in Dads' 'manacle' before going for a walk around the deck of the barge.

07.01.2022 2020.11.29 - 70 & 69 days old - No stopping Solly now - She has mastered landing on the perch next to the nest. Took her a while to go from perch to nest but she finally took the plunge.

07.01.2022 2020.10.24 - 34 & 33 days old - Solly & Dew are growing so fast. Solly is still in charge but Dew is still being well fed so I'm thinking we will have two Osprey fledge this season.

03.01.2022 2020.11.12 - 53 & 52 days old - Swimming must have been good for Mum's leg as it looks like it is improving.

03.01.2022 2020.11.30 - 71 & 70 days old - Would have been great to see Mum & Dad flying back to the barge together. Mum thought she should have the fish but Solly had other ideas.

02.01.2022 2020.11.12 - 53 & 52 days old - Dad drops off a fish and doesn't bother to stick around and feed them. Think it's made Solly grumpy and she takes it out on Dew.

02.01.2022 2020.12.01 - 72 & 71 days - Solly has been out for an early morning flight but landing wasn't so easy this morning

01.01.2022 2020.10.20 - 30 & 29 days old - Think Dad must have seen Mum catch a fish as he returns with one at 12.10. Mum prefers his fish and leaves hers for later.
