Last year they nested across the lake from the viewing area, but this year they’ve moved house and you can get a lot closer. We just missed seeing the male bringing in a fish, but shortly after we saw Mrs No Ring flying and her mate took to the skies again shortly afterwards. It was quite simply magical. These birds are just so majestic that even a glimpse is worth the wait. Unfortunately there is as yet no camera on the nest, and although the foliage around has been cut, you can only get a glimpse when they are sitting.
