Rough location of nest. If this is a sensitive site I'm happy for a moderator to take the sighting off or to conceal it, as is done on Canberra Nature Map. The Captain of our tour cruise mentioned this is an Osprey nest but my little camera couldn't manage a definitive photo. The adult bird's head is just peaking above the nest. Maybe a Sea-eagle? Kind regards, Roy.

It looks like it has a dark stripe on the head suggesting osprey rather than sea-eagle.

Sorry it is the Ospreys in the nest this site was recorded the last few years, They have had 1 fledgling from this is site, I have been assisting Chris Grounds from Shoalhaven Birdlife who is doing the monitoring on the Osprey throughout the Shoalhaven
