identifying birds nests - pattern

There are two birds nests on my patio. One is a robins nest, I cant identify the other. All the eggs hatched.

“Her markings look very like a familiar bird that we have had for the last four to five years.

“We were very pleased that it coincided with the opening - perhaps she knew.”

The bird has been catching and eating pike and Barbara believes this bodes well for the rest of the season.

The hope is that the same ospreys as last year will return and breed. Barbara added: “She’s been looking out for her mate in the sky so at the moment we are crossing our fingers.
