Ospreys build their nests in tree tops because from there they can see potential dangers early. Even giving the chicks flying lessons is easier in the widely open view, but for the nest demolishing autumn and winter storms often become fatal. Thus in spring the building of a new nest is a rather energy-consuming enterprise.
In the case of ospreys, before settling down to nest several individuals have passed the nest in best soap opera fashion. Discussions, with images and videos, can be followed in the LK forum for enthusiasts: LINK
When the breeding has started in the nest we will introduce the life of these eagles more in detail.
