And not nearly sturdy enough. Also, the way those sticks keep falling off the slanted roof of that box, I fear any eggs laid there wouldn't last long.

Those poor ospreys are too attached to the old nesting site for their own good. I can't help but think there must be many more suitable spots where they could nest, but they just can't seem to drag themselves away.

I wonder when the goose eggs are due to hatch? Maybe they'll have a chance to grab it back when the geese take their brood down to the water for a swim.
