Let\u2019s hope that he finds a female this year, following the example of <em>Mouche<\/em> (PR4) with her partner AM06. According to David Meyer and Dominique Lorentz they were back together on their nest in Moselle on March 18 (the male having returned on 17th), both a little earlier than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.balbuzards.ch\/en\/2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This year we have also built two new artificial nests: one in February in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yverdonlesbainsregion.ch\/en\/P545\/the-grande-caricaie-nature-reserve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Grande Cari\u00e7aie<\/a> by the Lake of Neuch\u00e2tel, where <em>Olympe<\/em> (F28) formed a pair in 2022 with an unringed female in 2022; and one this month in the Haut-Doubs, to replace the natural nest built by <em>Flamme<\/em> (ex-KF6) which was destroyed by a storm last summer. The same day (March 25), Cathy Poimboeuf discovered an Osprey that roosted in the vicinity, although too far away to see if it was ringed. Was it <em>Flamme<\/em>, or maybe another bird stopping over on migration? Great thanks go to the climbers Christian and Pascal Grand, Paul Ducry and Jean-Luc Holweger as well as to the ground team: Michel Beaud, Emile Curty, Denis Landenbergue, Dominique Michelat, Marie Pierre Nibbio, Didier P\u00e9pin, Cathy Poimboeuf, Christophe Sahli, Wendy Strahm and Vincent Tardy.<\/p>\n<p>While waiting for more returns, please don\u2019t hesitate to save the dates now for the next two \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.balbuzards.ch\/en\/volunteers-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Osprey Mornings<\/a>\u201d, scheduled on the Sundays of June 4 and June 25. These simultaneous observations at fishing sites really help a lot in identifying how many Osprey spend the summer in the region and where.
