Info from Latvijas Dabas fonds:
The Osprey nest is located in Latvia in Kurzeme region. This breeding area is known since 1989. In 2007 the artificial nest was build in pine tree and in 2010 the first Osprey couple inhabited it. From 2012 to 2015 one to three chicks fledged. In 2016 the nest was occupied, but with no nestlings; in 2017 breeding was successful - two young birds fledged (the 3rd was taken from the nest by a White-tailed eagle).

In years, when breeding was successful, none of the adult birds was ringed, so the origin of the birds was unknown.

Osprey couple 2018 was named Tija (new female) and Teo (same male like in 2017) from members of Latvian forum.

Hi Lispet!

Hi Deli!
He loses his balance now and then as he is such a devoted construction worker! At 14:40-14:42.

Teo and the line in his eye:

Now I'm 100% sure.

What a joy to see him back !!

I watched him for long time this afternoon; it was a real pleasure to bring back last summer's memories

Thanks for posting the arrival from Teo and thanks for these nice pics, Deli, Liz and lispet.
