This morning, as Rob and I walked towards the huge pine tree where the ospreys raised a chick last year, we saw that one of the parents was back. As we watched, entranced, the other flew in from over the river and landed on the remains of last year’s nest. They are back to rebuild their nest and raise another chick!

We won’t have any more rainbow-bee-eaters to enjoy until next spring, but we will really enjoy watching these 2 make babies again over the winter 🙂
