with no babies in the nest I suppose they'll just sit around on Saturday nights drinking beer and watching telly?

Blimey, how long do ospreys live for if this is the second time in 24 years with no chicks.

Very sad. Lady doesn't seem to be willing to give up just yet, though it would be a miracle if a chick hatched.

I have stopped watching. I don't like to see her sitting there keeping the eggs warm.

Rocky,they don't know the Ladies age but given that Ospreys don't normally breed until they are about 4-6 years old she must be about 30.Sadly she must be nearing the end of her life and for the last few years there is always an air of suspense about the time of her expected return a touch of the will she,wont she.
