Osprey Platform Construction


  • Here is a pictorial of the Osprey Platform that we under took this past Winter!
  • The Photos may be a little confusing to follow, as I haven't mastered the art of Labelling!
  • The Pole was delivered in January after a Huge thaw, that saw most of the Snow all but disappear. It snowed the night before delivery of Materials,and the Truck struggled to negotiate the Site.
  • Construction was completed in February and the Pole and Platform were set in March, after yet more snow.We were glad to have the Equipment with Tracks come for this.
  • I spent a few days hauling the Materials from the old Nest Site and constructed the Base of the Nest, using wire to secure it to the Meshing.
  • The Osprey arrived on April 7th and I am glad to say that they now appear to be settled into the Incubation Stage! We are extremely happy with the outcome and hope it will be used for years to come!
